chris1222nascar Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 02/01/2009 5:49 pm I have a 1950 20 franc silver coin from Belgium and was wondering if anyone had any expertise on this coin. I do not have a camera so I can't provide pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 02/01/2009 6:15 pm If the legend on the coin reads "Belgie" you have yourself a rarity, worth $1200 in UNC condition and $150 in fine. I suspect the legend more than likely reads "Belgique", and thats the most common year for this type unfortunately. KM#140.1 if coin aligned. 140.2 if medal aligned. 12,957,000 minted of both types combined. (compared with about 4 to 5 million in other years) 140.1 is worth $7 Unc and 140.2 $125 Unc 0.835 silver with an ASW of 0.2148oz Report this Post to the Staff

If you can flip the coin side by side and you get the image in the right order, that is what you call a medal orientation.
