3 Old French Coins 1853, 54 & 55 (I think)

[Limitool]

These coins were included within the box of monetary notes I got in MI. last week and posted earlier in the "What is it Forum". Some of the U.S. coins included I looked up but there are so many different varieties I get depressed trying to figure them all out.

These 3 coins I believe are French. My eyes are getting worse even with a magnifying glass. The dates are 1853, 1854 and 1855. There Napoleon III coins. They all have a bearded guy on the front and an eagle on the back. Below the eagle two of them have the letter "A" (the 1853 & 1854). The 1855 has a "K" below the eagle if that means anything...? I haven't weighed them (can) and they are very thin.

So if some of you coin experts can help me out with these I sure would appreciate it a lot. I'd just like to know if there common like the notes I posted or one of these may be a collectable and possibly a rough value if any.

Thanks… Brad

They are French and are all 5 Centimes. Second coin is a 1853K, I think, and a slightly better date, but in that condition, is of minimal value.

Nice old coin finds, congratulations! The top one still has some detail.

Looks like you have two 1853s and an 1854. Nice finds!
