Farewell my pretty Helvetia

SYRACUSIAN

Some of you might have already noticed that I'm in the process of selling almost all of my Swiss coins.
Stilll, there are a few coins that are very difficult to part with,
such as this beautiful 1885 10 rappen,PCGS MS66, Mac pedigree, already sold and packed to be shipped tomorrow. She will not be forgotten.

Is it wrong for me to miss this coin without ever having to own it?

If it is - I don't want be right

It's a stunner, Dimitri. Makes you wonder if you'll ever see another one like it.

WOW!! That is one fine coin!!

Is that doubling on the 5? -Dan

Dan - have a few wines and look at the date again.

Dimitri - They couldn't make a finer coin than that anywhere.

ormandh

No really. Look at the tail of the 5 in the date. It is definitely doubled. -dan

Could be, I've never owned another example of that date to be able to compare. Too late to ask for more money now... Also, there's a small nick on the upper part of the curve of the 5 , that is somehow almost invisible in this image.There, I found something negative to say, that will eventually help me sleep better tonight.
