<p>[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1571201, member: 29751"]I think I need an intervention. When I see this coin for sale, I simply can't resist bidding on it. This is one of the Restrike 100 Francs issued by Luxembourg in 1946 in a mintage of <b>2,000 pieces</b>. Another version of this coin was issued in a mintage of 98,000 coins that bears the designers complete surname on the reverse between the "6" of 1946 and the "N" of BLANNEN. Strangely, NGC doesn't note the "restrike" variety on many of the slabs for this coin. The coin is all the more attractive as it is large (crown sized) and the design (particularly the reverse) is very aesthetically pleasing. This is my 4th example of the low mintage variety of this coin, three graded MS66 (2 from NGC, 1 from PCGS), and one raw. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]214986.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]214987.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]214988.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
