Here is a recent acquisition that I like very much. The toning on this one is amazing and I enjoy looking at it. What do you think?

By the way anyone know how I can make these a little bigger for everyone to see?

 

use full size not thumbnail

 

Went to a coin show in Chattanooga over the weekend and picked up a few interesting coins. These are a couple of low cost French bronzes.

 

This is one I found that had a really nice portrait for it's age. It's now my oldest coin.

 

I had one of these years ago but in no where near as nice a condition. Just couldn't resist this massive coin.

 

Ole Ben Franklin could have held or use any of the coins here he Did like France.

 

And my favorite pick up. A 1770 ECU. I've been looking at these on Ebay for a while and just could not find one that I liked for the right price. I collect 19th century French 5 francs and these may be my next collecting adventure.

 

@J.A.K.
Nice picks.

 

Very cool, JAK, I like them!

 

That is why coin collecting is so much fun and interesting. Great collection

 

After uploading select FULL IMMAGE button before posting.

 

Yeah I messed up on that one, thats why I posted the picture again.

 

Thanks for all the comments.

 

those big ol' 5 kopks are sweet aren't they? that on is very nice JAK.

 

2 reales from Spain, well... Mexico... heck it's from the bottom of the sea, so who cares?

 

I did select FULL IMAGE...I guess my pics were small size .jpg's. ;(

 

OK...here are the pics I submitted earlier that were too SMALL and could not be opened up larger. Hopefully I was able to make the image larger. If it works, tell me what you think of the coin? Grade and if toning is real. Thank you in advance.
