I thought i post it in this part of the forum because generally this one gets most of the attention.

I've been looking all over for one of these and finally i find one. But what do you guys think? It's a Louis XVI 1/10 Ecu and is priced up at $270, give or take a euro or two. But i don't know a huge amount about these, for example the market value...

It's a great coin. I don't have a clue about value, but if you're happy with the price - go for it.

Nice coin! That reverse immidiately brought to mind some 18th century Swedish coins, because of the similar design features.

Kinda pricey, but it does look nice!

If I'm reading that date correctly as 1788 - then that mint mark should be MA - not just plain M. Is the A there but faint ?

As for pricing - I'd say it is about $150 too much.

Yeah it's MA alright. I heard they overpriced by quite a bit, that's why i thought i'd ask.
