Message:: [QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 225744, member: 103422"]Well, here's two of the coins that I found in my Great Uncles cigar box. He brought these back from France when he served in WW1 along with another coin I have that I couldnt get to download. The first one is a 1918 1 Franc coin and the second is one that I've posted in here before. Its an 1855 BB ? Centimes (cant really make out the first word although some of you in here have told me what it was, I now forget.). The third coin that I couldnt get to download is a 1911 5 cent coin from France, there's a profile of a woman on the obverse with the words "Republique Francaise" then on the reverse there appears to be a woman with a child on her lap with the words "Liberte Egalite Fraternite" from what I can make out. Anyhow, these along with a 1878 7tf Morgan were in the cigar box when I found it. My Great Uncle was like a Grandfather to me and my brother therefore we called him Pap. He passed in 1972 when I was only 7 yrs. old and these are what I have to remember him by.[/QUOTE]
