Henri Charriere Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 True story... I showed your coin to my wife just now and she smiled and, in French, said "tortue." I told her it was a por-cu-pine, which I had never seen on a coin before. And she said, tortue again. I asked her, Does tortue mean porcupine in French? Then, all of a sudden, I remembered tortue is turtle in French... "This is a porcupine! Don't you see the sharp quills? It uses them for protection from being attacked and eaten!" O-h-h-h. Nice coin; man I love this Forum! 😀 Fenntucky Mike and USAuPzlBxBob 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean a porcupine with a quill cut is called a hedgehog? Seriously, I stand corrected. (I showed it to my wife again and she studied it carefully for a moment before insisting, in Engligh: "It looks like a turtle.")

It's actually a depiction of a boar figurine, thought to have been used as a cup handle, found in a plundered Scythian tomb. Circa 4th c. AD.

Popular Post Henri Charriere Posted January 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2022 @Lem E Very brave of you to display this variant. Can we talk? Good... I can accept the obverse, but three things killed the reverse: the optics on Monticello: the beveled edges and the fontamania: an upper case O in Of, and a lower case f in five. Other than that I would have gladly met your quite reasonable $7.3 million asking price. 😉 GoldFinger1969, Lem E, USAuPzlBxBob and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the asking price, I would give you the QA discount of $6.8 million. I’ll even throw in free shipping.
