Picked up a few of these puppies that I thought you guys might like to see. Dont care much for the French

but their pattern coinage is pretty nice. I found the Mazard book to go along with them too. I just need to learn to read French now!!!

NICE!!!!! I like them a lot! The 5 francs is truly nice.

I really love that bonnet on the 10c. Nice bunch of engravers then.....pity some of that gene pool can't be employed by the US Mint.....

Welcome aboard sir! Don't forget to salute the darkside ensign....if we had one

J'ai presque oublié.... Viva La France!!!

Dagnabit! I knew I should have spoke up sooner

Wow, nice coins! I too, don't care much for the French right now, but they sure have nice coins.

<< <i>Yes I did!!! >>

I knew that looked familiar...maybe that should be YOUR new icon...let everyone know where you're starting to hang out

I really like that 5 Franc--the 'bird on top of the head' look is quite appealing.

Hey Cathy!!

How have you been?

Have you transferred yet?

Dont think that I can change my icon quite yet. I still love early gold!!

I almost bought another Japanese type coin for you the other day but didnt know if you'd like it...

I know where it is and will get a photo and your approval next month if you want.

I loved them when Boiler had them, still do. There is no way I could pick a favorite, each is a beauty in their own right.
