Got this piece today. She's a full Gem, with pleasing glossy luster and almost no contact marks at all. The pictures don't do it justice.
The piece is also clearly the 7/5 variety, but I'm only aware of this variety for Paris and Strasbourg. Is anyone aware of any other Lille examples of this variety?

Just out of curiosity, how do you call this coin a "full gem" when it obviously has rub on the center of the head as well as on the forehead hair curls? And all this time I always thought grading standards were even more strict among darksiders!!!
But this is just my interpretation.

The luster's all there (in hand), and there's almost no contact marks. That's not rub either--early brown coppers typically looks "soft" on the high points. Also, she's got just a touch of PVC dust on the high points which might contribute to what you're perceiving as rub.
You can trust my grade on this one.

Let me know if that beauty ever gets put up for sale! A couple planchet flaws but a drop dead gorgeous strike and magnificent luster!
