<p>[QUOTE=&quot;petro89, post: 1607808, member: 17048&quot;]Looking at my 1900-2000 Krause book...</p><p><br /></p><p>Half Franc: Most all are common though there are a handfull that are more rare, especially at higher grades.&nbsp; The 1901 is the most rare with a mintage of 200,000.&nbsp; Other better dates are pretty much everything through 1914, especially 1904 (400k), and 1916 and 1921.</p><p><br /></p><p>Franc:&nbsp; 1901 through 1913, 1932, 1934, 1936.&nbsp; Again, 1901 and 1904 are the key dates with mintages of 400k each.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 Franc: Better dates are 1901 through 1916, 1937.&nbsp; Keys would be 1901, 1904, 1908 1909, 1910, 1916, all with mintages in the low hundreds of thousands.</p><p><br /></p><p>5 Franc: 1904 to 1916 are all very scarce.&nbsp; 1924, 1928.&nbsp; The best dates are 1904 (40k), 1912 (11k!), 1916 (22K), 1924 (182K), 1928 (24K).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, there were not issues each year...for example, 5 franc coins were minted in 1904. 1907, 1908, 1909, 1912...etc. but not in the years in between.&nbsp; This is true for all issues - there are skipped years.</p><p><br /></p><p>For dates other than the above mentioned, many issues had several million minted.&nbsp; Hope this helps.&nbsp; LMK if you want more specific info about any issue![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
