    Great design. These look especially nice with their original surfaces.

    Keep them coming Lee....Pinnacle called commems the poster child of this market, but they did issue a strong buy recommendation, which makes sense while the coins are cheap. Unfortunately, a lot of us don't have much incentive to let go of our holdings in this market either. image

    One of my favorite coins, perfect example of what choice VF toned 'mishandled' commems should look like! Wish all mine looked like this. This came from ernie, to bo(o)tt (sp. intended).

    The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre was yet another sad day in Church history.

    These must be tough to find with color. Great series of threads.
  • CommemDudeCommemDude Posts: 2,332 ✭✭✭✭✭
    You are correct: Huguenots, like bridgports and some other issues, are very tough to find with nice color. I have seen MS66 Huguenots with seriously pretty peripheral color trade in the 7-12K range; they are valued at 1K white with natural skin. I dont believe there are any monsters with color that washes over the entire surface of the coin, but I defer to MR GB to answer this. This an MS67 from my set:
