    Looks like they let some inebriated folk make the coins. How much is something like that worth?

    The real value is finding a part of early French history. Dollar value, maybe $20 for a dug one. Basically the same idea as finding a cob, the hunt probably cost more to do than the coin is worth.

    Any time a person makes a find, the search of its history make the effort worthwhile.
