EFLargeCents Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 1:31 pm Copper coins from the reigns of Louis XIV XV & to some extent XVI are very difficult to locate, but even more so in decent condition. Has anyone else attempted to collect coppers from this era? Simply putting a type set together has proved difficult. 1774-H Sol. Grade is atypical, typically not found this nice, but the overall condition is typical with debris encrusted on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 3:29 pm Nice. Are you collecting mints? I have a preference for La Rochelle, Bordeaux and Bayonne. I mostly collect silver post revolution royals. The tough ones are Louis XVIII and Charles X. Here's an oddity for you A Charles X 5F, with the bust cut out of the coin and raised, monted in a pinback bezel. This shows WAY more love than Charles X deserves.The worst of the kings.

I wish, it's hard enough to find one of each type, let alone year or mint. I don't really focus on the silver, but I make exceptions during Napoleon's reign. The copper from the pre revolution monarchy's are really my focus. Cool piece of numismatic art you have there! Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/22/2018 8:19 pm I have a couple silver royals and some extremely worn coppers. Nothing like yours. This is my best French copper As with the royals it's hard to find high grade pieces from this period. The old copper circulated until the 1850's before there was any substantial amount of replacement coinage. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
