Found a 1902 1 franc, extra fine, can't seem to find the site for prices. anyone know? How is the market at shows for world coins?

I'd say the coin is bullion value right now. You need to pick up a copy of Krause's World Coins book to get a comprehensive guide to pricing. I recommend it highly if you're going to pursue non-US coinage.

Try Krause for pricing. I love these coins.

French grading is pretty tough. An XF is expected to be pretty lustrous.

Sometimes these are traded acording to our grading but the prices are
geared more to domestic grading.

Me too Greg. I can't resist one pic. Sorry forum.

Merci to all who replied. Nice pic by DHeath. I'll have to look at Krause's book.

Kruase is highly innacurate, take it from a Darksider.
