    Steve,you have to be careful when buying the silver 10 Francs like the one pictured in the top photo,as there are some deceptive forgeries about,especially of the scarcer dates.

    And BTW there is no major risk with 1930 and 1931 which are common.

    Pretty extensive collection you have there. Can't pin you down on any one series, nation, nor time period that is for sure! Lot of history.
