    Yes, I mean no. Uh, I think they might have, but not if they didn't.

    Hope that helps!

    RACECAR backwards is, well, RACECAR

    sorry, didn't have anything constructive to add to this thread, so i thought i'd share a worthless fact

    Alrightey, then. Since the auction of the coin I wanted to know about has closed and I was no help to the poor seller who wanted to know (thanks, losers!), then I suppose the point of this thread is moot and we'll go with Doogy's palindrome theme. image

    Did you know that like Doogy's word RACECAR, the sentence "TEN ANIMALS I SLAM IN A NET" is also a palindrome?

    It's the palindrome thread, now. Run with it.

    (I'll go look the Austrian coin up in Krause, as if it matters now.)

    Since Austria was on the silver standard back then, weren't their gold florins trade coins? (Sorry, I couldn't find a way to write the question in a palindrome.)

    Ah-- I see.

    The silver florins are much more common than the 1875 double florin I spent years looking for. I don't know if any were restruck, though.

    It's funny how you can discover how rare a coin is just by looking for one in any condition and coming up empty for years. The dealers I asked didn't seem to think certain coins particularly rare, even though they'd never seen one before. I guess Krause listings of mintages can give one the impression that some coins are fairly common. Until you look for one to get an idea of the surviving population, you'd never know how scarce a coin really is.
