It depends greatly on which coin it is exactly. They were struck at many different mints and many different dates, and every one will be of a...
There are those who swear by Ciani and would use no other for reference on French coinage. But while Ciani is very good, he does not have it all....

You need to post a picture of your actual coin for us to be able to estimate value.
Indeed, the dealer is obligated by law to tell you who he sold the coin to. I would not give up.
Very nice :thumb: Another one that I always wanted but never got around to getting. And since you snuck this one in on me I shouldn't tell you...
