Its like denver mint here, the old coins had errors galore, over dates, double dies, i think they employed mr magoo...lol..my double d 64 quarters coukd fill up a box on their own.

Another Napoleon - this time one from Italy, a 1810M 1 Lira, only 33 more to go for the full set 😄 (probably impossible even in VF but you have to try!)

The Napoleonic coinage of Italy is full of varieties, overdates, recut dies between mints etc, plus the reference books generally do not agree with one another or use the same terminology!
Like an idiot I thought I would try and sort it all out and just keep finding more and more unrecorded varieties, and mint state coins are not common either which makes things even more difficult. The mints at Bologna, Milan and Venice must have been a complete shambles compared to the French mints. A retirement project I think 😄

I can't even seem to get my hands on any 1963 Franklins halfs at the moment..................
That, @SilverTanner, is a beautiful coin though..........

A large bunch came back from @Numistacker today. Very happy with the results. A few notes:
Not one failure this time (details, not eligible etc...), must be a first! 😁 Several 68s and my first 69 grade First two coins in my collection with the Mexican and the German (new) labels Pleasant surprise and unexpected Mint Error! 😎 Four coins were picked for conservation by NCS. Two of them didn't increase and two went up two grades each. Overall I consider it pretty successful.

Nothing new - in 1803 the English Leopard tearing up the Treaty of Amiens with the French as the English didn't like the way Napoleon was trying to take control of all of Europe.
