Coin referenced by cgb.fr. This coin does not seem to exist in a state of conservation inferior or superior to XF.
If you have a more worn copy than the known minimum conservation state, remove aproximately 30 percent for each lower conservation state. In the opposite case, you probably have the best known copy, as long as the coin is not sold, we can not know what price will be obtained in auction.
Quote of cgb.fr about this coin: ''Cet essai s’est manifestement retrouvé en circulation !
VG et le Mazard ne répertorient cet essai qu’en Dix Centimes.
C’est la première fois que nous proposons cette monnaie à la vente !.''. Traduction: This essai obviously found itself in circulation! VG and the Mazard only list this essai in 10 Centimes.
This is the first time we offer this coin for sale!
