BELGIAN WAFFLE COIN, NOT EDIBLE, 1996 1 FRANK Franc FUNNY PUN BELGIUM WAFFLED

Description

WORLD’S FUNNIEST COIN, BELGIAN WAFFLE, NOT EDIBLE, BELGIUM WAFFLED 1996 1 Frank
The World’s Funniest (and Punniest) Coin?
Every coin collection should have a Belgian Waffled, the coin, not the kitchen appliance. If puns are the highest form of humor (as my dad often claimed), then Belgian Waffles might be the world’s funniest coin. You can’t eat them with maple syrup but you can use them to elicit giggles and groans from your friends and family.
This genuine Belgian waffle is a 1996 one FRANK or 1 Franc from Belgium.
What are waffled coins?
Waffled coins are uncirculated mint cancelled coins that have been stripped of their legal tender value. They begin life as error coins, accidentally created with some kind of defect, or are part of an inventory that is no longer needed or valid. To keep them from entering circulation, waffled coins are given their distinct wavy shape at the mint or at a location designated by the mint. Coins are waffled or cancelled by mints around the world, including the US Mint. Yes, many grading services will certify and grade them. This example is not certified.
Are all waffles errors?
Waffling by itself does not technically make a coin an error coin as it is an intentional process, but waffles are sold in the Coin Error Category for two reasons. They often start life as errors and because there is currently no eBay category for Mint Cancelled Coins.
Waffled US and world coins are interesting collectibles with a growing base of fans, but only the Belgian waffle is both a waffle and a deliciously hilarious pun!

My Seller FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions):
Allergy Note: All lots come from a smoke free and cat free home but pre-owned items may have originated in different conditions.
About Discounted Shipping: USA shipping only. I am happy to discount shipping on multiple purchases if you message me to request a discounted invoice after your last auction concludes but before payment is sent. Please make this request within 72 hours of the first win. Please note that discounted shipping is not the same thing as combined shipping as it offers a discount, not free shipping. Multiple large fragile items are not usually subject to this option because they often have to ship in separate boxes.
Shipping and Return Policy: I can only ship to your official eBay address and I do not ship on Friday and Saturday or during dangerous weather conditions. If you pay for an item any time from Thursday to Sunday, it will ship on Monday. If you pay for an item anytime between Monday and Wednesday, it will ship on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. Please bear this in mind, as well as the post office transit time estimates, when looking at arrival dates.
Shipping includes a tracking number. Oklahoma residents are always subject to 8.5% sales tax.
In more than 20 years, my return policy has not changed. All sales are final - no returns or refunds unless there is a question of authenticity or a gross error in the description. Refunds are not available for differences regarding banknote grading.
Payment Reminder: If you are new around here, you need to know that eBay automatically opens a case when payment fails to arrive within the required period. After a case is opened, buyers have several more days to send payment before the buyer account receives a “strike.” I have received angry emails from slow paying buyers who have no idea the process is automatic, hence, this reminder.
ABOUT FEEDBACK: My top priorities are answering email, writing accurate descriptions and fast shipping. Feedback is important but not my priority. I leave feedback only once or twice a month in large groups to save time.
