Yep, pre-series, pattern/essai and Krause don't cover everything.

Looks ok to me, the mintage was only 109 according to Krause online.

Oh thats a great link thank you.


Whenever the euro drops against the dollar I like to browse ebay europe looking for bargains , the improved exchange rate is putting a few coins on the bubble

I don't know if 400 euro is a great deal on that coin but its 25$ cheaper than it would have been a month ago
