Collectors regard a nice find as a rare or valuable coin discovered in perhaps a dealers junk box. In my case, I completely forgot about this uncirculated piece until I opened my mailbox.

No order, a freebie from a collector buddy.
By the way, going forward, what is the name of the leading numismatic catalog?
I attend coin shows once in a while but am not familiar with what might be in print to avoid.

Oh yeah I remember that name.
They had ads in comics or magazines I answered when I was a kid some free coins about age 9 or 10.

Nice one :) Aluminum coins don't get enough love in the hobby. Really like the French Algerian coins from this era, particularly with the staff of hermes design.

I have them all, but one is unc.
Oh and by the way, I did visit an online coin catalog site and was surprised to learn they do have a coin I need, and by comparison, it looks just as nice as others I found on my favorite online dealers sites and the price really is significantly less. If they accepted my favorite way to buy online I probably would have bought it. But they don't, so I will probably find one at the next coin show.

I like scopru's emblem. This was mine 72-78.
A little salty.
