<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 583422, member: 17469&quot;]I&#039;ve been watching this thread, waiting for the French notes to appear <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The large one is commonly referred to as the 100F &quot;Bleu Clement Serveau&quot;, after the artist who drew this and many other of France&#039;s nicest notes. The design is Minerva and Hercules. On the back is a typical French country woman. The 1-9-1949 date is one of 33 possible dates on the note, and is one of the more common. It is Pick 130, or Fayette #41 if you care about the French catalog number, and in this condition is probably worth $10 or less.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 10F note has been covered well, again in this shape the value is minimal. You&#039;ll find this anywhere from &quot;thrashed&quot; (the official grade one below &quot;good&quot;), to UNC, and while &quot;thrashed&quot; probably means they were actually used and it&#039;s interesting to think back on the times during the war when France could not print notes or deliver them to various regions (these were printed in the USA) and where that particular note may have been, collectors still drift to the UNC ones which of course may have been sitting in a box in Massachusetts somewhere during the whole war.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
