Most of these I've seen are G to VG with corrosion.
This example is a bit nicer.

The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

Got quoins?

    Very nice Guadeloupean 50 centimes! My first view of one... interesting head piece and ornamentation on the bust.image

    These are copper-nickel. Actually, in Krause the values listed are in the VG-XF range, which indicates they are usually encountered fairly worn.

    This one looks nice image

    Just to correct myself: the VG-XF range is for the Martinique issues, which are actually very similar to these. image

    Definitely one you don't see every day ... in fact, it's the first I've ever seen. image
