These are after pix and before pix. Oldest coin I have ever found.

Very nice coin Billy!! I have only found one French coin in Tennessee. A 1854 Napoleon III copper where a local gentleman sold horses and mules to people in Europe in the early 1900s . We figure a visitor from France or a local young man who tended to the animals durimg the boat trip to Paris brought the coins back with them. HH, Quindy.
