Frankshank New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 01/09/2019 08:40 am I have a 1853 10 centimes coin and it's stamped 1870. Anyone have any idea why? Something to do with Franco Prussian war? Report this Post to the Staff

Frankshank New Member United Kingdom 4 Posts	Posted 01/09/2019 12:11 pm Thanks for the input. I noticed the double one too. Interesting. Done some more digging elsewhere and apparently there were a few satirical over stamps in 1870 aimed at Napoleon 3rd due to him losing the Franco Prussian war in 1870 and fleeing. May be one of those. Report this Post to the Staff
