    France 1900 10F counterfeit.jpg Found this in a lot I recently purchased. It's a pretty good imitation and is still partly gilded. The weight is light (1.59 grams) and the size is a bit larger than the 10 Franc (18.9 mm). I wonder how someone could accept a light weight larger diameter 10 Franc piece if they even handled a real one.

    The coin is so poorly struck and lacking in detail I am amazed it would fool anyone not to mention its nowhere near the color of the real thing!
