Depuis 1690, selon le dictionnaire de Furetière, une monnaie est dite frappée en fleur de coin lorsqu'elle fait partie des toutes premières pièces frappées avec un coin neuf, et sur des flans préselectionnés ou usinés spécialement et préservés de toute circulation. Ces monnaies sont généralement destinées aux collectionneurs et sont très recherchées. Elles sont vendues en coffret à une valeur généralement plus élevée que la valeur faciale.
En numismatique, ce terme est remplacé de nos jours par celui de belle épreuve, ou BE, la qualité intermédiaire avec la monnaie courante se nomme brillant universel ou BU.
<< <i>A l'origine, était qualifié de fleur de coin, un coin (et non une monnaie) absolument neuf.

With the origin, was described as flower of corner, a corner (and not a currency) absolutely nine. Since 1690, according to the dictionary of Furetière, a currency known as is struck in flower of corner when it forms part of the very first parts struck with a new corner, and on blanks préselectionnés or machined especially and preserved of any circulation. These currencies are generally intended for the collectors and are very required. They are sold out of box with a value generally higher than the facial value. In numismatics, this term is replaced nowadays by that of beautiful test, or BE, intermediate quality with the current currency names brilliant uncirculated or DRUNK.
"In origin, was qualified as flower of corner, a corner (and not a currency) absolutely new.
Since 1690, according to the dictionary of Furetière, a currency is said hit in flower of corner when it is part of the very first rooms hit with a new corner, and on custards préselectionnés or manufactured especially and preserved from any circulation. These currencies are in general intended for the collectors and are very sought-after. They are sold in casket in a in general more well brought up value than the facial value.
In numismatology, this term is replaced with that of nice test, or BE at present, the intermediate quality with the commonplace is called shining universal or DRUNK."
else en francias!

<< <i>At least that other old time collection looked like it was old. These envelopes are crisp and new with recent typing on them. >>
But, if the envelopes are TYPED, they must be old!!!!! Typewriters went extinct in 1979, I think........
Looks a lot like a PCGS PR65 I sold recently. PCGS, and I for that matter, think its NT.
As for the seller. I have seen his coins sell on ebay and they all do very well. Whats the trick? Are they GEMS or not?
I don't disagree w/you, was speaking more of his other listed items
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

I think that this guy is legit. Call me naive, I guess.
I knew it would happen.
<< <i>franklin halves do not tone like that in kraft envelopes >>
They do tone like that in albums, though. Particularly proofs.
