Hello,

I recently buy this coin: 5 francs 1812H. It weight 25 grams, non magnetic, edge inscripton: DIEU PROTEGE LA FRANCE.

Because I'm not specialist in France coins, can you tell me is this fake or not? And grade please.

Thanks.

I don't see any reason to believe it is a fake, everything checks out to me. It might have been cleaned though. As for grade, in my opinion it is a solid F.

I'm with VB: but I might have graded it higher - all the design elements are present.
Mintmark H doesn't come up a lot.
