Interesting. Until now I did not know the Vichy state had struck coins for the colonies.
Cool. Looks like an 1820s-30s Coronet head. Any data on the shilling? My dig buddies find stuff like this occasionally. They hunt some...
I agree with what @physics-fan3.14 said. The example he posted has near perfect eye appeal. Yours is unfortunately a bit too harshly cleaned for...

I know absolutely zilcho about paper money, but thought this worth a peek. Very nice! The handwritten signatures on notes of this period and...
Yes, that li'l choo-choo would've put a smile on my face, too. :) I haven't done any bulk bag or junkbox picking in a long time. Used to be one...
Aha. Wikipedia to the rescue again. Wasn't expecting someone who died 90 years ago. Thought we were discussing some modern celebrity I'd never...

Separate names with a comma.
