<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverfinger©, post: 4428669, member: 112311&quot;]Hi all, I love these monster coins and have seen many for sale, but sadly most have seen a hard life not helped most likely due to their large size.</p><p>I have a question about the lion on the reverse of the coins on the USA made ones during WW2 (mainly the Curacao issue ones), the lion on nearly all the coins on these that I have seen looks a little flat/worn, even ones claiming to be BU grade, and ones where Queen Wilhelmina hair seems unworn on the obverse, this is compared to the pre WW2 ones the dutch made themselves, and post war when they made them for themselves again, is this appearance normal I want to know ? if anyone can help me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1st picture shows a well detailed lion on a pre war coin</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1109315[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>2nd image is of a wartime USA made one, the coin appears almost uncirculated (to me) but the lion looks very worn compared to the coin above, or is this how they were minted at that time ?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1109323[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
