Did anyone here win this 1919 French 1 Franc?

I was the high bidder and went to sleep but was outbid. I really wanted it for a type coin as the toning looked spectacular. Congrats if you won it.

Was on my watch list but never bid.
You’ll be able to find a nicely toned piece of these later dates.
My current "Box of 20"
Stunning coin
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Something that would bid on but not bidding lately. Nice coin!
Was watching - this was a good one.
Here's a older sibling; 50 centimes 1918 graded MS65

Yeah, that is gorgeous.
I didn't - just our of curiosity what did that end up going for?

This is my current example which I am not overly fond of - its also a 65 and is about the least dazzling coin of my present collection.
Ended up going for $227; $255+ with the juice
I do not own any of these type of coins, maybe they will be on my list some day.
i have seen a lot of this beautiful design, on ma-shops many of the early dates and in other sites the 1900's, the last set I saw was a 1918 with the 50C-1F-2F coins crisp bright at $35.
Congrats to the winner. It's nicer in person from what I remember.

I still find it fascinating that having photographed tens of thousands? of coins, you still remember specific ones you've handled. It truly shows that each coin, especially toned, has to have a personalized approach that highlights qualities of that particular coin.

I'm pretty sure I've photographed over a million coins at this point, although it's hard to say with so many crackouts and resubs. This coin stood out because it was the first toned Franc I came across working at GC.
