[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 4642400, member: 102103"]Day 120: Well, 120 days is a triple quarantine, which is rather a long time. When I started this diary, the initial shutdowns were described as likely to last a few weeks, to slow down the rate of infection growth and give hospitals a chance to stock up on things like masks, gloves and ventilators so as not to be overwhelmed. A good thing--I'm not complaining! But it looks like quarantine is not going to end in a definite way, but to slowly phase out, varying by region. Coin stores were closed, along with most other retail businesses. As a hopeless coin addict, I hoped to provide some entertainment to those missing coins by posting some of my old, previously unsorted coins and researching a bit about them. I've certainly learned quite a few things I hadn't known along the way. Thanks to all for reading, and for the thoughtful comments along the way. I'll continue to post coins in other threads as appropriate, such as the Newest Acquisitions thread. But for the diary portion, at least, I'm wrapping it up as of today. It's been fun! France, 25 Centimes, 1903 Not an especially rare type, but only made for 2 years from 1903-4. I thought this one was in attractive condition and very modestly priced, and I didn't have an example of this type previously. [ATTACH=full]1147146[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
