to assist your research, keep an eye out for a copy the standard catalogue, published by Monsieur GADOURY.

Okay I spent too much time on this tonight putting it into a spreadsheet and looking up info on sites like Numista and I came up with this (too bad I can't just attach the spreadsheet file, so here are screenshots): Centimes:  Francs  Circulating Commemorative Francs  If anyone wants to give any corrections or additions, please do. The Diameter column was me hoping there would be a lot of overlap and I could build a custom album with blank mm sized openings. But there is a lot of variation in the early dates, so that's probably not going to work well. Edited by tkbslc

You might want to look here for additional info as there are also patterns (Essai): http://www.cgb.fr/boutique,modernes.htmlAnd while not a French type set, my 'Marianne' themed collection does include quite a few French coins of course!  |

These are great posts - thanks! I have a growing interest in French coinage.

I probably have 95+ % of the 20th century french type coins, not counting gold. I have found most of these in junk boxes or from bulk lots. I occasionally pick up coins back to the 1st Empire or before but they are less common to find cheaply. One site I have bookmarked that I found helpful was: http://www.lesfrancs.com/french_franc.htmlI like that they are grouped by period with pictures. Your set will include the latter half of 3rd Republic - Euro. |

I just noticed this post and am a bit late to the discussion, but I have found Numista to be a great source of finding a country's type coins. You can filter out the non-circulating ones. One problem is that they don't always list the sub types, for example look at KM#904, but you can get the vast majority of the information from them.

ok, so I have a slightly different problem. I have a bunch of French Euro 5c coins. Is there an album that arranges them by year like a whitman does for the US nickels?

There's always room to create digital coin albums if you are willing to spend the time and effort...

Hello, I recently made a post asking talking about something very similar and also copied @tkbslc post about the type list he made. Here is the link to my type set so far http://goccf.com/t/418786. Ive added a lot to it since I made the post but I would like to share photos as well soon on my post. I love the french coins other than my large US collection, they just made such pretty coins. One day it would be fun to do the same for Italy. |
