    I was at an auction in 2006 and purchased two French 2 Francs for a total of $12 ($6/coin). I'm not sure why I purchased the coins since I'm not a foreign coin collector but I think that I was bidding because I was bored and there weren't many coins at this auction. When I got home, I couldn't find the 1901B French 2 Franc in my books. After some further searching, I found out that one of the two coins was really a Swiss 2 Franc. I've been taken! As my finger drifted over to the value of the coin, my heart started to pump. The book was showing the coin at $135 in VF and $1,600 in XF. Well, I'm a conservative grader and I put it at VF but it is a nice VF to me. What do you think? Also, please don't tell me that it is a fake.

    Yes, I use to have to be able to resize my photos easier before my upgrade to Vista. Now, I will need to purchase Windows Photo Gallery to compress my photos. I'm able to compress them to about 500k with Paint but not down to 250k. I really hate to spend a few hundred dollars on Photo Gallery to compress photos.

    Ok, I'm going to try to attach the photos again after a compression. I would appreciate any comments on authenticity and grade. Thanks for your help.

    How about one more try? I'm on a learning curve.
