tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 07/14/2014 11:31 am The only two fairly common ones that old are the 1 and 2 franc 1870-1920 coins. Prior to that and the coin is going to be worth more as a collectible than silver melt. This site may be useful: http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coi...n_coin=16864 It's a listing for a silver Jeton, but below that there are links to basically every french coin ever.

Unfortunately, it's been offline for a month or so now. 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.
