Hey, birdman, have you tried doing a search on ebay for a similar item?
I'm pretty new at all this, but I've noticed a rather dreadful difference in what the coin books quote as prices and what you can get stuff for on ebay.
I kind of think ebay has taken a lot of the $$$ out of selling coins.
Good luck and HH!

Sorry, I only have the ones for the 1800's. Go to barnes and noble and look it up in their krause world coin catalog 
Ebay is good but you wont find mintage figures and other info.

No Barnes and Noble over here.LOL I looked on ebay but got tired of looking. I have a coin book but only goes back to about 1850. I don't think I would sell it unless it was a nice chunck. I figure itin the shape its in it is not worth a lot ,I am just wondering. HH

I agree, If you can't purchase one as they can be a bit costly, you can always go to a well known book store like Barnes and Noble or maybe even Books a Million and browse a bit HH Art...

Check Ebay for the Krause Guide to World coins, best one out for IDing coins I think

Hi,
I have the Catalog of World Coins for 1701- 1800, 1997 edition. Your coin is a 1792, I Mint, 30 Sols from France. The values in my book are listed as VG- $10, F- $25, VF- $75 and XF- $175.
With the scratches and broken piece, I think this coin would grade on the low end, no better than G.
Nice coin though.

No book takes into account the historical aspect of a coin
