Sap Moderator Australia 16834 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 10:39 pm These pieces are actually considered as coins by French collectors, rather than tokens or notgeld, even though they bear a close resemblance to both. They are listed in Krause as a coin, number 877. NGC database page. I don't have a reference picture for comparison, but the "debris" visible inside the numeral "5" makes me think your piece might actually be the 1925/3 overdate. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
NathanASE Pillar of the Community United States 1511 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 01:41 am Nice!! Wow, that's actually good to know, I actually have one of these exact ones from 1922, it was in my familys world hoard that was left to me that I just finally got around to going through. I was unsure if it was a token/coin as it looked much different from the other French coins! Thanks for clearing it up for me! Report this Post to the Staff
