<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy, post: 39937, member: 645&quot;]Personally, I think that a person could gather a nice collection of French coins with the angel design or variations of it. Of course the 100 gold francs make this a non-collection for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I remember as a student hearing the story of Napoleon carrying a gold angel coin in his pocket for good luck. I was always curious of the facts behind the story and which coin it was.</p><p><br /></p><p>GD, I have noticed a few other 1848 angels on the market. This is after 2 years of not seeing any. One was on e-bay last night. However, the ones that I am seeing&nbsp; appear to be low grade coins with the exception of your two beauties. Not only do you have the eye, the resources, the background knowledge but you seem to be a good detective as well with finding those &quot;angels&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>My white cotton gloves are off to you and I wave you a salute.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
