New Darside purchase

netrubicon

I think a lot of you darksiders may find this Modern by most standards but Ive really fallen in love with the design and the price seemed right.

French Indo-China 20 Centimes1920

I have always thought that was a great design! Very nice example you won.

I love that design

Is it just me or is there a slight rub on the high point of liberty's nose?

Nice one. I used to have an AU-UNC piece that was nice n' shiny, but on closer examination, it proved to be too shiny. Somebody had chromed it.

By no means am I an expert on these coins, but I wonder if it is due to the strike. I have a few Frenh Indo-Chinese coins, and none of them have a "FPN" (Full Pointed Nose, in case TPG's want to use my designation).

I was thinking the same thing this morning. I'd love to find a fully struck example. I don't have my Krause with me and can't remember if this design was also struck in other years by mints other than the SF mint. I was just curious if it was a problem common to the design or just the mint making them.

Ive only seen pictures of the full nose. There is one on the cover of Krause 19th century 4th edition with the full honker. I noticed this on the coin before I purchased it, but all others Ive seen online in Unc are the same way. I would call it weak strike. It will probably effect the grade, or at least should. I cant wait to gaze for hours at the sparkling, frosty lustre! Yeah..Im nuts...so what.
