belg_jos Posted June 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Gotten it in the mail. Didn't expect it to, since I haven't paid the postage fee yet... Strange, but I'm not complaining. I was also wondering, how they immediately stamped the 25 cents planchet on there. Those weigh 2.0 grams. A big way off to be sure it's that planchet, no?

thedeadpoint Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Cool die clashes on that coin, Jos. PS. Did you finally get what I've been meaning to send you for a while? I sent it about a week and a half ago I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted July 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Cool die clashes on that coin, Jos. PS. Did you finally get what I've been meaning to send you for a while? I sent it about a week and a half ago I think. No dieclashes, but a genuine doubledated doublestrike. See the thread on it in the error-forum. No not yet. Guess it will turn up soon. No worries Did you get mine yet? Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Yes sir! I meant to tell you that. I especially like the waffled coin. I've always wanted to see one in person and now I OWN one. Thanks a bunch, Jos. Thanks for your patience. I hope your stuff gets there. I look forward to further dealings. Hopefully I'll be a little more quick in return.

belg_jos Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Some new ones to add. 5 Centimes 1862 - 15% Offcenter 20 Frank ND - Type Elstrom - 60% Offcenter And then a bunch of fake coins, another passion of mine.

thedeadpoint Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I really like the 5 centimes. Why fake coins? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belg_jos Posted November 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 I really like the 5 centimes. Why fake coins? Just curious. Well, since they still exist today, it means they were accepted by people as real, and weren't taken out of circulation by the authorities. The "mintage" of these are very small. Maybe a couple of hundred the most, so they are rare. All that makes it interesting to collect. The goal is also to find several fakes from the same source. I have some 5 Francs 1873, but none of them look the same. They are all made by different people, so they are all "unique'. Maybe I should start making a catalogue for those We'll see, I haven't got enough of them yet to do so. Regards, Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belg_jos Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 A 20 Francs 1950 French Legends (normally struck in silver) struck on a planchet of a coppernickel 1 Franc. Sweet! Jos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnome Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Certainly some interesting pieces, there. Appreciate looking at them. Thanks. I'm quite partial to a nice error myself. Look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
