Nice coppers,

Little tip on photos make them smaller and they will look better. Change the size of them.

Sweet coppers!!! The smaller one is definitely a French Liard! On a guess I'd say 1655-56?

The "D" mark signifies one of two mints: Lyon during the years 1693 through 1699 or the mint at Vimy during the years 1655 through 1657. I can't see enough to distinquish one from the other.

I looked, and Vimy is right. Strange why my Krause says Lyon for the early dates.
