Grade Of 1873 Belgium 5 Francs

Agreed with tdziemia, the above is an AU details example (obverse with an old improper cleaning which has toned back over). I actually collect pre-Euro Belgian coinage as one of my areas of 'specialization,' and all coins in my collection are NGC certified, so I have handled quite a few of these both raw and slabbed. 1873 is a high mintage date, but $30 was still a good price for an example with good eye-appeal. Check the edge for the inverted stars variety - could make a good find even sweeter ;)
