<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2116791, member: 73555&quot;]It&#039;s a common-date bullion coin of France, Krause Catalog #857, perhaps a restrike, although that doesn&#039;t matter much on a bullion coin.&nbsp; They are usually known as &quot;roosters,&quot; for obvious reasons.&nbsp; Currently out of stock at Apmex, but here&#039;s the link to check later in the week:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.apmex.com/product/63982/france-gold-20-francs-rooster-bu" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.apmex.com/product/63982/france-gold-20-francs-rooster-bu" rel="nofollow">http://www.apmex.com/product/63982/france-gold-20-francs-rooster-bu</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s dozens of them on eBay, generally (today) $300 plus or minus $20, when bought in lots of 5 or 10 coins.&nbsp; They tend to be overpriced (on eBay) as individual pieces, I see some as high (today) as $400 to $425. </p><p><br /></p><p>Price of the coin fluctuates constantly with the price of gold.&nbsp; I&#039;ve owned a couple, different times, but sold them to buy 90% silver on dips.&nbsp; There are no scarce dates in this short 9-year series.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lettering on the edge means:&nbsp; if it ain&#039;t there, it&#039;s a counterfeit, or, the rim has been shaved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
