<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 721063, member: 5787&quot;]I was at an auction in 2006 and purchased two French 2 Francs for a total of $12 ($6/coin).&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure why I purchased the coins since I&#039;m not a foreign coin collector but I think that I was bidding because I was bored and there weren&#039;t many coins at this auction.&nbsp; When I got home, I couldn&#039;t find the 1901B French 2 Franc in my books.&nbsp; After some further searching, I found out that one of the two coins was really a Swiss 2 Franc.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been taken!&nbsp; As my finger drifted over to the value of the coin, my heart started to pump.&nbsp; The book was showing the coin at $135 in VF and $1,600 in XF.&nbsp; Well, I&#039;m a conservative grader and I put it at VF but it is a nice VF to me.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; Also, please don&#039;t tell me that it is a fake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
