I dunno why but everytime i see one i just want to buy it.
Louis XV 1/10th Ecu 1731-D
Someone showed me a pic of one they'd bought and i nearly made an offer to buy it off of them at more than what they'd bought it for as a good incentive for them to part with it, i thought better of it when they said they'd never sell it. I just can't get enough of these guys.
As many know i used to specialise in British 17th/18th century sixpences and i was doing a date run, well even now the early sixpences still catch my attention and i fully intend to return to them one day in the future when i can afford to.
Louis XVI 1/10th Ecu 1783-A
However the part of my collecting soul that had welded itself in wedded bliss to the early milled sixpences must surely be missing them and it's purpose in life must feel a little empty. That might explain why i seem to grab every French 1/10 ecu coin i come across, being that they are sixpence sized.
Louis XVI 1/10 Ecu 1788-MA
Hopefully i can buy many more and keep hoarding them. Perhaps a couple of dozen or maybe 100 of them would be nice.
Anyone got any lying around they don't want, preferably the cheaper ones?

I only know of this site, CoinVault but I don't see that they have 1/10th ECU at the moment...
Btw, nice coins!

Hmm i want more, more gods damn it...
I shall keep a vigilant watch out for more of them. I still haven't got the 1788 just yet but it's en route to me now with my next Anglo-Saxon penny so it's something to look forward to.

So ... how long before we see you on _Cash in the Attic_ trying to raise more money to expand your collection ?
