<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 695733, member: 5233&quot;]I know I have been asking a lot of identification questions lately because I have been going through all my random foreign coins.&nbsp; Well, hopefully this will be a thread that is a little more enjoyable than identification.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the coins that I have been going through are coins that my grandmother gave me.&nbsp; My grandfather as well as other members of her family who I never met had traveled the world in the military long before I was born and had brought back coins as souvenirs.&nbsp; She had ended up with many of them and felt I was the one who they should be passed down to because I was the only coin collector in the family.&nbsp; So, before she passed away she gave me a couple small metal containers with random coins and tokens in them.&nbsp; Probably the most valuable was a 1854 Type 2 $1 Gold (which now resides in a PCGS Genuine slab)...but one of my favorites is this common Franc.&nbsp; I think this is an absolutely beautiful design to begin with but it this example also has nice original luster remaining and lovely natural toning to it.&nbsp; So, here is the 1917 Franc.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1917French1Franctonedreduced.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
