I have been loading up on these beautiful French coins for the better part of a year now, since I saw one at a White Plains Bill & Coin show, and the one I purchased on eBay certainly didn't disappoint. Gleaming, heavy and with far more detail than their US counterparts, these French 50 Franc pieces have the most amazing work along their edges. Moreover, they are almost %90 pure silver and, at 30 grams a pop, provide an interesting place to store value. Should silver prices follow other metals in their stratospheric rise, these pieces will soar in value. If not, well, where else can you purchase this amount of first class artistry for under $40? I've got the 70's covered and now I am looking for older versions. It can get a bit pricey, but this sure is more fun than shoveling cash into a silver ETF. Try pulling your children away from the videos for 10 minutes and introduce them to a bit of world history. The possibilities are endless!Read full review
This is a lovely coin in both size and detail, been thinking about purchasing g one for awhile now and just decided to give in to my wishes. This coin has even more details to it along the edges that just add character. Little images that symbolize French heritage and culture can be found around it's edges. This coin is just a gem to a francophile and coin collector such as myself.
