A Napoleon III Empereur I just wanted to share. I don't think it holds much value but it's one of my favorite coins. Image: IMG_1855O.jpg81.62 KB Image: IMG_1855R.jpg82.07 KB Edited by thingee 10/09/2006 3:32 pm

I know exactly what you mean. Maybe not worth much in dollars and cents, but a real neat coin.
Somewhere I have something similar, but haven't seen it for years.
Anyway, I really like the coin.

I have an 1855D mint mark coin but not in as good condition as yours. Pretty good for a coin over 150 years old.
The "A" is for the Paris mint, while "D is for Lyon mint.

Thanks for the update sn31. I believe I got it at a junk shop for 50 cents. Couldn't say no that!!

Sn31, The "B" mintmark is for Rouen mint.
There was also a "BB", "K", "MA" and "W" mintmarks for the year of 1855.
