<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2130966, member: 71338&quot;]I am mostly a collector of 20th century world coins, for some of the reasons others mentioned: affordable, historical, artistically pleasing, etc. I sense some wonderment in your post. Why don&#039;t you collect more world coins? Imagine owning an uncirculated French franc like the one you have. What a beauty those coins are. The other coin is in pretty nice shape. I go through s lot of the zinc coins and they tend to all have whitish corrosion/oxidation that wouldn&#039;t result in a clean grade I&#039;d imagine. And it&#039;s interesting how this zinc coins turn black and look more like they were made from charcoal. I always notice the silvery color on our post-1982 cents that shows through sometimes on our cents. Will this turn black too over the decades? Were these zinc world coins silver colored when first minted and uncirculated? Does anyone know? I&#039;m not too familiar with the metal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
