Do you happen to know the KM# for the Franc?

 

[jerseyben]

Better pics of the 1797. Unfortunately I cannot determine the variety due to the severe wear on the reverse.

Do you happen to know the KM# for the Franc?

If it is 1 franc (23 mm)

- km# 844.1 (regular)
- km# 844.2 (1914-C, key date, can only be identified by mintmark which is on the token side)

If it is 2 francs (27 mm)

- km# 845.1 (regular)
- km# 845.2 (1914-C, non key, can only be identified by mintmark which is on the token side)

Ok, I weighed it. It is definitely a 2 Francs coin. My wife did some research and she believes it to be a "calling card" for a Debutante "coming out" party.

It looks like the address is now in North Philadelphia (the bad part of town).

That area is a college area near Eastern State Penitentiary and the Art Museum. It is an "ok" area.

I went back and checked and I would say it is on the level of a few other neighborhoods that are not in North Philly.

Wow nice finds! I have been detection for 40 years and have yet to find a large cent. You did good!

 

[ky.rebel]

I don't understand any part of your post

 

[leprechaun]

Nice group of coins,I'll give you 100 dollars for them. Just kidding.

He is asking if the hole lowers value and whether the coins were bought in a coin shop. His coin shops are apparently dishonest.
