This one has a nice Eagle... AV 50 francs 1859-BB Strasbourg Mint Louis Napoleon III 1852-70 France/ Deuxieme Empire
@fretboard John's collection is massive. And while the number of coins is North of 1300, the quality of his collection, MS/MS+, is what is really impressive. On top of that, rarity of the individual pieces is amazing. Dozens and dozens of highest graded or in the top 5 of the condition census. Hopefully John will one day take time to start a thread featuring the many coins in his collection. 98% or more of his collection is GOLD!!
I love French gold; should have bought some of these back when they were still available for $700 each!
Thanks all for nice comments! I like mostly all coinage produced before WW1. However, if i had to pick my favorites types.... AV Aurei (Imperial/ Roman Republic/ Western Empire/ Eastern/ Byzantine Empire AV Dukaten from Holy Roman Empire Mints Everyone must be wondering why I am not busy at work doing Spring cleanups.... My 2019 GMC Sierra broke down on Wednesday, starter was fried/ Dealership still have not replaced it under warranty. Starter probably was manufactured in China John
Yeah agreed, gold is King and I'd love to see his collection as well! I'll await the link or show right here on CoinTalk!
