NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 18010 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 2:42 pm Hi kzy - I'd grade this as Good Fine. It's a very common cupro-nickel 5-Franc piece (French legend) that circulated until the late 1990s. In this condition it's the sort of coin I see in dealer's junk trays in England for about 10p (12c).

kzy Valued Member Canada 144 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 3:26 pm Good fine? it that G, VG or VF? Looking at NGC a VF20 is listed at $4 U.S.? Report this Post to the Staff
oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5255 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 5:31 pm No dealer in Canada could ever sell that for $4. They would be in junk bins for 10-25 cents. They are just too common, and nobody wants them. By the way, your photos really need to be improved for us to grade better. They are far too dark. Report this Post to the Staff

In addition, lots of times, they have, say $20 for VF and $5 for MS-60 (makes no sense). Search ebay for this coin, then look at SOLD listings. An uncirculated example sold JUL-30-2017 for 76¢ with FREE shipping. In another listing, twelve 5 franc coins sold for $1.50 (for all 12). ps This is a 5 Francs coin, not Fornit.

Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/03/2017 1:41 pm Yeah, this is a junk-bin kind of coin—I know that is where I found my example. For the grade, this coin is quite worn, but there are not many details on this coin to begin with. From those pictures, I would think VF-20. Report this Post to the Staff
