Hi Abecoin,

 

Are you sure you have the piefort and not the regular circulation piece?

N#6

 

The coin in the picture shows serious circulation wear, which would be strange for a piefort. Piedforts are some sort of essay from the mint of twice the thickness of the original coin. They are rare, and not intended for circulation.

You are correct when I first looked at it in the morning I could have sworn it said piéfort but I was mistaken. Thanks for your time

Thanks in advance

Did you weigh the coin or just copy the weight from the numista database? 12g is either Piéfort or 2 coins stuck together ;-)

 

If you don't give correct info, it's hard for us to help out …

No new swaps for the moment, still too many half-ongoing swaps to clean up!

I just copied it because I thought it was a piefort but i was wrong.
