[QUOTE="Chris B, post: 6517494, member: 87179"]I see these posted all the time on the US coins side of CT. Thought I would post a little pole for fun. I picked up this piece because it is relatively scarce and doesn't come up for sale often. On ACsearch.com there are 3 known sales. I'm sure there are others in private sales. It is not in the best of condition as you can see. Part of the reason I made the purchase was that I thought the grade was interesting. So, take a guess if you like and I will post the actual grade Saturday evening. The only thing I will add is that it is straight graded. [ATTACH=full]1260657[/ATTACH] German States Besancon 2 Groschen 1623 Obverse: City arms in circle Obverse Legend: +MONETA. CIV. IMP. BISONT. Reverse: Laureatee bust to left divides date in circle, value (2) in oval cartouche below Reverse Legend: +CAROLVS. V. IMPERATOR. Composition: Billon Diameter: 29mm[/QUOTE]
