Need Some Help On This One!
September 05, 2017, 10:59:45 AM
   I have spent the last 4 days going through years of foreign coins, documenting what I have and looking for current values. I have come upon a 2 Euro coin dated 2007 from Monaco which I can't explain and I sure don't remember who sent it to me. Looks like a 2 Euro coin but it has the outline of Princess Grace on the obverse, along with Monaco and the date is small print. The Reverse is the 2 Euro reverse but the outer ring carries the words, probe, trial, essai.   There is NO edge lettering at all?
   I know Monaco released 20,000 Princess Grace 2 Euro coins in 2007 and the value is extremely high at this time. I just need to know if there is any value in this trial piece. Any of you have a clue? Appreciate any input on this matter! Thanks!

Thanks for the information. I guess I have never seen so many trial pieces released by a mint? I know I would love to have the real coin but $850 for a 2 euro coin seems a bit high for a modern date coin. Again thanks to everyone. Now I know I don't need to have the coin authenticated and graded. Saved some money! lol

Now I have found a Spain test coin for the Euro. 5 cents I believe. Any value on that one?
