When I was younger nearly everyone that collected foreign coins had one of these it seemed. I had several myself at one time.
@Dialupsux Your French Commerce piece is interesting (1924). I have come across many of these and never seen such a tiny "4" on one.
Ah, but Ken...the Red Book and Krause catalogs have both been slipping up over the past couple of years. Krause sold and has not been the same...
I'm not well versed in these but possibly an OMM? Possibly try "Brian's Variety Coins" or "The Nickel Trader" to see if anything on their sites match.

A great choice and my favorite U.S coin. My set is complete with the 1921 PDS being in Fine 15 as I could afford. 1939 -1947 are all MS.
