supgog Pillar of the Community Israel 2420 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 06:14 am Another coin series I know almost nothing about. Got this coin for 21$, as I figured it gotta have some premium, over melt, and it's a cool coin. What would you grade/value it? Thanks for looking . Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think Louis Philippe's coins have worn well at all. Those mutton chops seem to wear quickly on the design and leave a lot of these type of coins quite unattractive - though in this case it's a moot point as they have worn off completely. Naturally AU+ coins have a huge premium.

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 1:01 pm I would buy this for melt any day, but not for more. Report this Post to the Staff

Went for about 200. There are certainly very good examples of the bigger mintages to be found in the marketplace, but because these coins did circulate for a very long time they are expensive in high grade.

Once you have one you'll want another and in a short time you'll be bidding frantically to get that elusive 1829H 2F Charles X. If you turn out like I did anyway.
