French Gold 20 Francs (Lucky Angels)

I picked up a pair of French 20 Franc "Lucky Angels." They were supposed to be AU or better. To my eye, they don't look like it, but I am no expert at grading. I think I can exchange them if I'm unhappy (overall I'm not overly concerned--wasn't expecting perfect).

Anyways, just looking for some opinions on these. My main concern is that I haven't paid for counterfeit gold (no I don't have any weights either).

That is a very nice pair of French Angel 20 Francs.It is a change from the 'Rooster' coins.

Thats about the grade I thought they were. I think I paid 8% over spot.

 

I think that they are lovely and as Aiden says a bit of a change from the rooster:thumb: Nice buy

Very nice buy! French coins are not very popular in my country sa I had no occasion to see "rooster" 20 FF gold coins. I like them.

 

Hello,

I like very much those, but even more the 50 francs.... but they are much much more expensive, as they are quite rare

Thanks for the compliments guys. When I get a chance, I'll try to get some better pictures (particularly of the writing on the rims). And yes, the 50 francs are also nice but alas a pair would have broken me .
