Not shown any of my French before but here are four of my latest additions 10F 1930 1931 10c 1856w 1897a Both of the 10c are in very nice condition for once LOL
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. Aidan.
Dont worry Aidan I am very careful, LOL I have a couple of very good suppliers that I buy from :smile

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.
Thank you :hail: I can not seem to stick with just one I keep seeing new things that call out to me LOL
