<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 1279943, member: 17919&quot;]Here&#039;s a 1978 French 50 francs silver piece that contains .8680 ounce ASW (actual silver weight), more than a US silver dollar, that I picked up for less than melt. It&#039;s not a very photogenic coin, at least it doesn&#039;t like my camera! It actually has very flashy prooflike surfaces, but they just don&#039;t come out well in the photos, whether taken under fluorescent light or in natural light. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m under the impression that this was meant to be a circulating coin, which would have been worth about $10 at the exchange rate back then. However, the silver bubble of 1979-80 sealed whatever fate it had as a circulating coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
