The Black Prince - no doubt a hero in France! Interesting figure and a coin from his time is fascinating!

I'd like to note that the DOW was at 12,000 in September 2007.

It just makes you scratch your head, or leaves you in awe, or both.

What is the Contoursi dollar, MS68? This is from the thirteen hundreds. And it's MS62. And it's gold.

Smoebody paid that much for a worn out Canadian $.50 that was posted here. I strongly suspect that this piece is rarer

Am I weird for not feeling anything for this coin? I appreciate the artistry, but I'm not into gold and I'm not into hammered designs

You don't have to answer that

A hero in England, not France. Edward, The Black Prince, Prince of Wales, son of Edward III was despised in France. For it was he who captured in battle Jean le Bon the King of France during the Hundred years War, held him for ransom, and forced the French to agree to pay 4 million franc a chevals for Jean's freedom.
