How much is My Neat 1851 5 Francs French Coin Worth

As a curiosity (if I am correct that this is an altered item with blades/tools installed) I might go $20 or more.

As a coin $0 to $5.

SYRACUSIAN

I agree with Laurent, bullion value as a coin, except for the fact that it seems to have two countermarks , one on the obverse and one on the reverse. Cool item regardless.

I've seen them going for about $50 before as curiosities, but I don't think I actually saw one sell at that price... when do you think it was modified?

That's a very neat item. Does it feel solid and usable or sort of fragile and loose? I think that would be a very neat item to carry around and use.

Thank you for sharing the images.

If you decide to sell the piece, PM me with a link to your auction or BST.

Conclusive Proof.

The French tried to steal the 'Army Knife' idea from the Swiss in 1851.
