Hello all,
First I would like to say that I greatly appreciate anyone's time who can shine some light on this coin, or pass any information my way. I have what I believe is a 1925 Belgian Congo 1 Franc (KM #21) that appears to also have an overdate error....is this a 1925/3? I have spent many hours trying to research this coin, only to find next to nothing in the way of rarity, mintage, etc, even a picture that's similar to mine! One database informed me that the coin does "exist", lol. Do I actually have something here, or is this another case of a novice's eyes playing tricks? In the off chance that it actually is a rare variety and not a smudge on the coin or whatnot, what would be my next step? What grade would this be considered? Thank you very much, I look forward to any and all replies! Please advise! I would be happy to provide more information/pictures upon request.
EDIT: This is my first time here, so please feel free to crack the whip if I've made any mistakes! Much appreciated :-)
