these coin values?

Question

1932 2 franc coin
1942 1 franc coin
1949 5 franc coin
Anyone know their values? All in very good condition

Answer 1

Using a French coin book is okay if you are French or live there. Very few outside of France has the book, the mintage figures may be more accurate in the french book, so a better book is used by almost all countries. The 1932 2 Franc coin is KM# 886 and is not a scarce item, it can be found in dealer world coin boxes for .25. Even in mint state it is worth only $3. The 1942 coin was issued under the Vichy French government that was pro Nazi. It is KM# 902.1 its value is about the same as above. The 1949 5 Francs comes from two mints, without mint mark it was minted in Paris KM# 888b.1. With a B it wa minted in Beaumont Km# 888b.2. Both are worth the same as above. An added point is, coin books from other countries come in handy when doing research, but not for pricing. There are always industry standards to go by. Hope I have help some here.

French Coin Values

Answer 3

One of the most widely collected US coin series is the Lincoln Cent. One of the most eagerly sought dates is the 1922 with no mintmark. As a general rule, great demand equals great value. All 1922 cents were struck at the Denver Mint. There are several dies that produced cents with little or no trace of the D mintmark visible. The pieces most valued by collectors are from the marriage designated as Die Pair 2. It is also commonly referred to as the Strong Reverse variety. Several diagnostic features will aid in confirming an example is not one of the three “Weak D” varieties or an altered coin. Die Pair 2 may be identified in part by the total absence of any trace of the D mintmark. The second 2 in the date is clearly defined and strong. The digit 9 is somewhat mushy. The lower front portion of Lincoln’s coat is weak and shallow from the same heavy die polishing that effaced the mintmark from under the date. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST has a distinctive look as well. The letters of IN GOD are very mushy, even on uncirculated examples, and spread out toward the rim. The word WE is stronger and more clearly defined, but still has a decidedly worn appearance. There is an obvious and marked contrast between these first three words in the motto and the last, TRUST. Its letters are clearly defined and separated from the rim.

Answer 5

Coin collecting can be a very expensive hobby or a very enjoyable one as long as you don't get caught up in the fantasy.
I used to be a coin collector and a very good one.
Go to the library and check out the latest "WORLD COIN BOOK".
This book will tell the range of the value of the coin. Do not be disappointed when you find out that the value is dollars and not hundreds or thousands of dollars.
Coin collecting on the average and on the whole is not a lucrative hobby.
I did it for the enjoyment of the coin. They are actually pieces of art.
