Random Coins from the Darkside...

Hello fellow CoinPeople,

 

I recently got given an ice cream tub of coins by a good friend and have sorted out all of the British and Commonwealth coins but the foreign coinage is a little more tricky. Especially as I don't collect them nor own a copy of Krause...

 

Here goes!

I would be grateful for any help!

 

All the best and many thanks,

 

Clive.

If it was silver, that one would be worth about €10,000 ... :ninja:

The 5 fr coins were silver until 1967, then (1968) Cu-Ni plus very few Ag pieces. Then, 1969, they went back to silver; after that (1970-), Cu-Ni again.

Christian,

 

I doubt that it's Silver then... :ninja:

 

I think that CoinPeople has converted me to the Darkside, I enjoy getting bulk lots of foreign coins and then looking through them! But it'll never replace my hammered passion.

 

Many thanks,

 

Clive.
