1905 French 20 Franc Gold Rooster Coin

Hi Cointalk chaps,

What do you suppose this little coin is worth at today's prices? Is it a collectable? How much can I expect to sell this for in Canada? (Quote me in
Canadian or U.S. dollars please!)

Thanks,


Andrew E

I’d say it is about $370 US. Welcome to CT.

 

I bought my Roosters for just a few dollars over melt at the time. They are beautiful coins but don't trade for much over bullion value.

Here is my 1905 French Rooster

 

Hello & Welcome Mr. Member,
Your gold rooster is worth approximately 520.94C

I have never seen roosters trade hands between knowledgable dealers and collectors for more than a few bucks over melt. Basically multiply weight times gold price and deduct dealer profit, (whatever s/he may want) to know what you can sell for. You can try to sell to another collector yourself and keep the dealer profit if you can.

 

Hello Andy,
Presently at the gold price 4/16/20 1:50pCST
your Rooster is worth 321.70 U.S. = 452.53 C.
