Those French Territory coins are really cool (I like the one in the other thread even more).

Of course, how can you not like a coin with a large bird on it ?

I used to think all the Indochinese coins were common and this especially applied
to the base metal coins but I'm beginning to wonder if this is true. The copper/ nickel
and aluminum coins aren't often seen now days in unc and there was no local supply
even back in the 1960's. All these coins have disappear in the face of light demand
and the base metal ones are in pretty sorry shape except for the uncs usually.

The 1941S 10 and 20c coins seemed to be plentiful when I was looking for them. If I remember right, though, it took a little searching to find a 1940A 10c. That looks like a nice one, Shep.
