Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 6:47 pm I'm not an expert on French coins but I will venture to say that it is at least in VF condition, maybe VF+ with perhaps a lite strike and not sure about the dark spot. I couldn't find it in my book, what year is it? I'd guess late 1790's. KK Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2136 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 7:04 pm I think this almost EF apart from the staining. See the detail on the acorns ! See the hair curls, only a bit of detail missing. The centre of Centimes seems weakly struck. Is it genuine ? Report this Post to the Staff
Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 7:14 pm I think the date looks more like a 7 over a 3, rather than 7/5. if I recall correctly, the Revolutionary Calendar began about 1792 - see here if you desire to be further confused - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French...can_Calendar If I read that correctly, Year 7 is 1799.

maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 08/15/2012 11:01 am Thanks for the feedback. Year 7 started in Septemer 1798 and ended 1799. So the probability speaks for 1799 as year of mintage. If you look closely, you should see the 5 behind the 7. This type started year 5, so in any case the 3 can be excluded.
