I have a collection I inherited from my father. It is a large collection with alot of interesting coins. I promised him I would not sell them but continue to add to it. One that interests me is an 1841 penny from France. It is about the size of a US quarter. Does anyone know the value?
Welcome Carrie, I'm am a long time collector of US Coins. But if you give as many details about it and possibly a pic or scan of it. I sure some of our World Coin members will be able to help you.
Is it this? http://cgi.ebay.com/French-Colonies-1841-5-Centimes-Bronze-Large-Coin-/370455247089#ht_606wt_905
Carrie welcome to CoinTalk. The bug of coin collecting will be rewarding. Pictures work the best with any questions about value as condition is key in accessing it's value.
Good to have you here Carrie. Like KoinJester says, the hobby is very addicting. Please show some pictures so we can evaluate what you have. Bruce
