Please see photos attached: The Obverse The Reverse And as best as I can snap shot, the edges Why are there vertical lines at the edge like the one immediately after the word "FRANCE" The coin is 24.8g Thanks in advance!

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 10/11/2020 05:30 am It looks genuine. The nominal weight is 25 g, with a bit of wear 24.8 g is within limits. The edge inscription is made with a segmented collar, and the vertical lines you see are the borders between the segments. The collar had three segments, so you should expect to see three lines at equidistant positions around the edge. It is Louis Philippe I, by the way.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5240 Posts	Posted 10/11/2020 05:31 am As far as I can tell, it looks like a perfectly normal well circulated coin from the era. I believe that the vertical lines were simply part of the design of the edge lettering. Report this Post to the Staff
