Through LordM's generosity I was able to purchase this 1833-T 5 Franc Louis Philippe I as a start for my French royalty.
Not an uncommon coin by any means this NEN example is a step up for me in terms of grade. Years ago I
would have been quite happy with unslabbed VF or EF but not any more-quality over quantity I guess.
This coin caught my eye because of its noticeable cameo effect. The fields have a nice blueish tone against
which the silvery portrait stands out.
I don't dare go for any higher grade than AU or I'll never be able to afford them. Very happy with this one though.
Thanks again to the Mighty Marcovan.

As to my generosity, I would reply, "what comes around goes around".
'Tis but a drop in the bucket when compared to all the fundraising work you did to make my England detecting trip a reality two years ago.
I will never forget the spontaneous kindness of everyone who pitched in for that.
