Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 10:31 am Here's a 1792 2 Sols with an odd edge, and different inscription. It's very similar to KM 603.1, but there's an N after the date, as if it were from Montpellier mint. The rim is bashed, uneven, and holed (one is 2mm deep). Is this an unpublished date and mint, or a contemporary forgery - would it have been worth forging such coins ? The weight is 16.91 g. The size is identical to the KM image. Sorry, I don't know how to photo the edge. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/05/2012 8:27 pm These coins saw heavy circulation and are typically found in this condition or perhaps a little better. Condition? poor. Don't despair. Even in this condition, this type is still a collectible coin. Most other coins in this condition would just be scrap. Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 08/06/2012 07:17 am I have a few coins from this era but also have huge gaps in my knowledge. Can anyone recommend a good coin book covering France from approx 1700-1900? Report this Post to the Staff
