Louis Ok.... I guess I am done sulking. I had expected a bit better response initially on the Randy Rhoads post since he was from so many of my readers generation. I'd told my close friend "sweet" I was putting my picture in as Randy's to see if anyone noticed.... BUT Nobody did... but nobody was commenting which hurt even more since the blog, along with all the pictures gathering had been over several weeks. Good blogs don't just happen they take thought, consideration, and some decent effort... It was also a test on my part to see if anyone would know me from Randy. Kinda like all the Elvis's running around Vegas you might say. Oh well ... it's over. Yesterday JD was hanging on my ass the whole fucking day for some G** D*** reason and he stood right there watching me sign for his/our 10th anniversary present an old, considerably rare French silver Ecu of Louis XIV. (so he FUCKED UP the surprise aspect) It is now framed residing in with the other French Ecus of the era collection. This one is of particular significance due to is rich history. This is what a clean, clear cut original of the era ecu looks like. Our has strong indications of it being a "récriées", that is to say "not for use in the market" coin. Under the reign of Louis XIV, according to a law, at the time, the silver Ecus were struck over older coins of the same size. People would have to bring their coins to the royal mint and have to pay a tax for this "réformation". New coins often showed traces of the previous legends. A coin may have been re-struck 2 (or even 3) times...same size, but with a new type, that was called "réformation". Ours shows distinct traces of a prior coin along the edge of the reverse side. We don't know if it detracts or enhances the value of the coin on the market, however, Ecus of Louis XIV are not found every day around here and we are excited about it's varied past. For all we can tell it might have been a restrike of a Spanish piece of eight! As a refresher history course Louis XIV (5 September 1638 – 1 September 1715), known as Louis the Great or the Sun King , was a monarch of the House of Bourbon who ruled as King of France and Navarre from 1643 until his death in 1715. His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest of any monarch of a major country in European history. |

guilty............................... I admit I blew off your post on Randy Rhoades. Been incredibly busy and honestly didn't know who he was. Now Louis XIV I do as we are closer in age.

I did not respond to the Rhoads blog, because if I do not have anything to add to the conversation; I don't. In the case of Rhoads I had never heard of him. The content of your blog was all that I knew of him. Sorry!

To us it gives it a bit of a "linage" ... it's just not possible to identify what the previous coin was. We're jusdt guessing it to be a Spanish milled dollar since Europe was getting flooded with Mexican and Peruvian silver at the time.

Only my inner circle of chat friends really know me and this was just a vehicle for the regular bloggers to see me on a very rare occasion since the other site I ended up fending off 10 other fakes attempting to be me.

I thought Ozzy was a big band of the era...Our high school band knew his Crazy train as classic rock of the era.

I grew up in the part of the world where country music was King. Even then I would be hard pressed to come up with a single name of a performer with the exception of a couple namely Elvis of course; and yes I know he was rarely a country artist but his fame was just so big that it encompassed everyone. A couple of others would have been Johnny Cash,Hank Snow etc.
