hello Jbuck yeah Sir I am happy too, specially because the site where I buy cheaper stuff has no protection what so ever. its all done in good will.they don't even have ya personal information (normally linked to ya bankkaccount or so like ebay)thats how bad it is. if you transfer money you just have to hope it comes so I went to the postoffice because they arrived i got real value for my money imo specially the older types they still look amazing these are the 500 francs 1990 km# 178,179 and 180 there is a second set of these for the year 1991 but I do not own that yet.     I'm quite proud of these a beautyfull 5 Francs 1868 A position   and the 1870 i do not own very many of these thats why I'm so stoked although they are not that expensive, alteast these dates that is its hard to find in EF -AU specimen,   hope you enjoy Edited by dohcollector

its that time again i got lucky yesterday I scored me some nice and not so nice coins still i' gladd I have'm in the collection,if not to upgrade if I get a chance ofcaurse? nhow I was looking early yesterday morning and I saw some very nice examples of the belgian 5 francs so I bid immediatly not even a few hours later I got a mail saying I could come by and pick'm up i was soooo stoked 2 be honest...i could't even wait for them to come by mail so I punched a hour later that night. so the time came and I drove for about 45 minutes to his location. it was a very friendly man and he let me look at the coins he told me he was not a collector but he got htem by chance and I was even more stoked. he had more silver coins but they wher not in a condition to buy or I already owned them so I did my pick  and I got a few coins for melt value       i payed like 115€ for this about 130$ but thats not the bast part i hope you can c this   |

Nice pickups you got there.
I see you are in Belgium. I lived in Brussels for many years and used to go to a meeting of the local coin club twice a month. They met in a small cafe in the Bourse area on saturday mornings and it was always possible to find nice coins there. You may want to ask if they are still around.

thank you Jbuck good thing some1 appreciates them
i bought more but I did't bother putting them up few more of these and the set is complete
and there are some more on the way but those are from a other king/set :p
@GERMANICVS
thats a good story mate but helas I do not live near brussels.
i live in antwerp but I'm shure there is also some collectorclub/gatherings.
just have not taken the time to do that.
