<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 383854, member: 12965"]Except for the OP coin, I don't have a clue. I know they are worth quite a bit more than I paid but I don't know their actual value. The OP coin is valued between $150-$250 US at auction (someone told me this right after I acquired it) but if they are in the Redbook, don't they have prices in there also? Maybe someone will let both of us know the values of each of these. :thumb: I wouldn't mind knowing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ps: The only book in my arsenal is Breen's Encyclopedia and even with that, I'm still trying to figure out how to tell the difference between a Sol & Double Sol (1738/1748 -1738/1764) just by the picture. :kewl:</p><p> </p><p>Pps: Here is a 1767 Sol de 12 Deniers that has the RF countermark and is currently for sale on Ebay:</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1767-FRENCH-COLONIES-SOU-WITH-RF-COUNTERSTAMP-CHOICE-EF_W0QQitemZ180170361402QQcmdZViewItem%3F_trksid%3Dp3286.m20.l1116" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&campid=5335874456&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2F1767-FRENCH-COLONIES-SOU-WITH-RF-COUNTERSTAMP-CHOICE-EF_W0QQitemZ180170361402QQcmdZViewItem%3F_trksid%3Dp3286.m20.l1116" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1767-FRENCH-COLONIES-SOU-WITH-RF-COUNTERSTAMP-CHOICE-EF_W0QQitemZ180170361402QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116</a></p><p> </p><p>The seller mentions it's on page 51 of the 2007 Redbook and valued at $450.00.
