I teeny, tiny coin with some very nice color, and at a great price from NEN at only $19 + Shipping.
In an old ANACS MS62 slab. And as usual for NEN, it looks even better in hand.

    Nice pickup. A sleeper, too, maybe. This mid-19th century Italian and French copper/bronze stuff has been in the doldrums too long.

    Think of how much more often one sees the 5- and 10-centesimi pieces rather than these little 1-centesimos, too. (Ditto for the French Napoleon III centimes versus the bigger 5- and 10-centime pieces).

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
