A Napoleon III Empereur I just wanted to share. I don't think it holds much value but it's one of my favorite coins.

I know exactly what you mean. Maybe not worth much in dollars and cents, but a real neat coin.

Somewhere I have something similar, but haven't seen it for years.

Anyway, I really like the coin.

I have an 1855D mint mark coin but not in as good condition as yours. Pretty good for a coin over 150 years old.

The "A" is for the Paris mint, while "D is for Lyon mint.

Thanks for the update sn31.

Sn31, The "B" mintmark is for Rouen mint.

There was also a "BB", "K", "MA" and "W" mintmarks for the year of 1855.
