DagonX Valued Member Poland 392 Posts	Posted 06/11/2015 5:05 pm Hi! My friend wish to sell one of his coins nad asked me for some help. Unfortunately French coins from XIXth century are completely out of my interests and I am unable to help him. I only assume that it's some kind of specimen, but I'm not 100% sure. Diameter: 32 mm Weight: about 24.75g Thickness: about 2.7 mm Could you tell me anything about this coin and how much it's worth? And what about the double die on the reverse? Thanks!

Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 12:20 am It's not a "double die". It's apparently been struck twice with the same die; the first time was off-centre and about 180 degrees rotation. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
DagonX Valued Member Poland 392 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 1:40 pm numismatic biz, thanks a lot. Sap, yes of course, you're absolutely right. I can only say that my mistake is a result of very long day - and when I was writing one think I thought about "double die" effect and of course I wrote down this. So, the fact that coin was struck twice somehow affect on the price? Coin is worth more or less? Report this Post to the Staff
