<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xCoin-Hoarder&#039;92x, post: 2089177, member: 72758&quot;]Want to see some French coins? I got &quot;<b>hoards&quot;</b> of them! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":jimlad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures below. Top 2 photos show a few stacks of all the denominations from 1/2 Franc to 10 Francs Bi-Metal, to show everything that I have bagged up on the floor below.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/sl65jl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i57.tinypic.com/nns5yq.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/o5155f.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i61.tinypic.com/v5gxz5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i59.tinypic.com/32zko48.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i62.tinypic.com/hwk9xi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the count...</p><p><br /></p><p>4480 x 1/2 Franc (1965-2000)</p><p>3300 x 1 Franc (1960-2001)</p><p>2880 x 2 Francs (1979-2000)</p><p>465 x 5 Francs (1970-1995)</p><p>2400 x 10 Francs (Bi-Metal) (1988-2000)</p><p>197 x 10 Francs (Brass) (1974-1987)</p><p><br /></p><p>Many of the coins are made of .999 pure nickel. 1/2 Fr, 1 Fr, and 2 Fr coins can be considered bullion coins. I payed pretty much spot price for most of the nickel coins. The 5 Francs are cupro-nickel which has only 25% nickel but they are enjoyable to have. And I love the Bi-Metal 10 Francs, those are must haves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have lots of Centimes, in 5/10/20 denominations. These are the bronze (or brass?) ones made from the 60&#039;s to 2000. A dealer in UK ships these to me for almost FREE, he just charges me additional shipping and includes these in with other lots I buy together. It&#039;s UPS Express Saver by the way, which is extremely inexpensive when everything is said and done. (last package I received was 10kg and it was only $50 shipping.)</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as France, that&#039;s about it! I used to have a couple silver 5 Francs from the 1870&#039;s and 1880&#039;s a year ago. I liked them and regret selling. Maybe if I get another silver coin soon I&#039;ll share that. I remember I used to own an AU looking 1876-A 5 Francs. What a beauty. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope the post isn&#039;t too long![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
