marv Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I have a 10 centime 1843A bronze coin of the French Colonies. Krause lists mint state coins, but I believe my coin is a proof. It seems thicker than the coins I have seen, and it has proof fields. It is in pristine condition. Can anyone recommend a reference that would show whether proof examples of this coin exist as well as suggest a value for a proof example. It is not an essai, or at least I don't think it is as it does not have the word "essai" on the coin. Thanks, Marv Finnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marv Posted July 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Hello marvi have a french colony catalogue (Jean Lecompte) and for your coin the value in grade SUP (PROOF dont exist)is 150 EUROS. If you want contact me delagegerard@hotmail.com The Standard Catalog of World Coins (2004-4th edition) does list a proof for 1843 with a value of $450. You say that Lecompte does NOT list a proof for that date? Marv Finnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
