silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 03:20 am I found this guy in a pile of world coins that the dealer I went to was selling at 10 bucks a pound. So I got it for just 5 cents :D The date is 1854 or 1834, it's really hard to tell, but it kinda looks more like 1854 :D. Could any of guys please help me identify this coin?

silverdollar2011 Valued Member United States 385 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 03:21 am How much would this be worth considering it's badly worned out condition? Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 03:39 am The face looks like French centimes to me from Napoleon III era (1852-1870). The reverse is so badly worn the only way to narrow it down is by its size. What's the diameter, composition? The lowest grade in the catalog starts at Fair for any values but I don't think yours makes that I'm afraid. Report this Post to the Staff
Sander Pillar of the Community Netherlands 561 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 04:27 am I think it's 1854 A (Paris mint).. 5 or 10 Centimes.. Report this Post to the Staff
aiglet7 Pillar of the Community Canada 695 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 12:52 pm I agree with both thai-vic and sander, it is either a 5 or 10 French centimes coin of Napoleon III minted in Paris. As I write I have both a 5 & 10 centimes coin on the desk beside me dated 1856 & 1857 respectively - both well worn having seen some serious circulation! Report this Post to the Staff
