heya jBuck i said almost because the 4 remaining dates are not that cheap specially in XF-AU condition so it might take a while still  Nway the coins came and I was not happy about the packaging he just tossed 4 silver coind in a padded envelope maybe half of the marks onthere are from transit/shippjng alone  Still they are quite good looking specimens the 2 first pieces are from a set of 3 ran from 1847 - 1849 km#3.2     bottom 2 pics is from the next set that ran from 1849 till 1865 km#17 both are the same king but the latter we call 'bald head'( direcly translated) because it lacks the crown     but for some reason I got lucky again... after putting it in a 2X2 flips I noticed one the head was not straight on the coin when turned its about 15 degrees off from where it should be  Edited by dohcollector

Yes, it is a tad smaller than our old silver Three Cent coin. Really nice though. |

Hello CCF managed to score this last week so got this a couple of days ago  and yes for the people that follow ,i have posted this before but this is a variant  so here is the diffrence first coin has 5 train bills ;i think so dirt must have gotten in the die because normally there are 8 but on a 50000 mintage ther can not be loads of them :p  8 train bills  and a nice set I've been wanting for a while now its from the year 2000 and the why ...there is no why 2 be honest but i'll mak eup some reason ...there is only 5000 QP sets ;)       Edited by dohcollector

yeah Jbuck in a 9 or 10 decades one of this beauty will be worth quite a bit
although my belgian book says the 8 bill is a variant but I believe it to be the other way around.

It is a good thing that you have both so that you are covered either way.  |

Jbuck !
hehehe I prolly won't reap the benefits of this but still its the thought that counts, there is also a suiding
side of this , and that is being able to save them up in these strange and hard times.
@Childofthewheat
thank you very much!
since I have found my direction in what to collect, I'm having more fun saving up these belgian coins
although I do love the US and russian coins too :)
got loads of them ...just no key dates or morgans ,but that is because I'm affraid to buy these ,i can not say for shure if they are fake or not
