This coin does not seem to exist in a state of conservation inferior or superior to G.
If you have a copy in better state than the minimum conservation state, 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.
Unlike previous vintages (in maillechort) there is no more accent on E letter.
Quote of cgb.fr about this coin: ''L’exemplaire a malheureusement été coupé en deux puis recollé. Traces noires de colle au revers''. Traduction: The copy was unfortunately cut in half and then glued again. Black traces of glue on the reverse.
