<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 175911, member: 283&quot;]The mint mark appears to be an `I&#039; (at bottom of the shield) but I don&#039;t think that there were any 1/4 ecu&#039;s minted in Limoges that year (?)...or were there ...Doug?</p><p><br /></p><p>The only other mint it could be is `L&#039; (ie Bayonne) with part of the `L&#039; being just off the flan. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m a wee bit concerned by the encrustation and other strange bits in the right field next to the shield. Looks either to be heavy corrosion.....or possible casting marks. It&#039;s just unusual to see a coin of that type with these `attributes&#039;. I&#039;d want to know where it came from (recently that is). Maybe it has just been recently exumed (?) </p><p><br /></p><p>Although it&#039;s probably genuine i&#039;d still check the edge just to make sure there isn&#039;t a join.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Putting a value on it is difficult but if genuine, I wouldn&#039;t expect it to fetch any more than $50 in that condition. Probably less.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
