It's my understanding that French coppers of this sort circulated up into the 1930's. I see many very smoothed out examples in the "bargain" bins....

As chance would have it, I came across one such in the "bargain" bin just today. Pretty well used up, but probably still just short of a true lowball, perhaps AG3 at worst.

There never seems to be a shortage of heavily circulated 19th century British coppers. Here's a Victoria penny (1879) & halfpenny (186?).

Here's my "jaw-dropper" from today's lowball haul. Obviously never to be certified, and in fact just barely identifiable as a Barber dime. Atypical for a coin to get worn this smooth.

Again too nice, really. G6, maybe? But I can also see where it could hardly stand any more wear before the date would become illegible.
