I kind of feel bad for stealing this...

[physics-fan3.14]

But not really. Got it for $15, and Krause lists it at $65. As many of you know, I am working on a French colonial set, starting in the 20th century. I am one coin shy of being done with Morocco, one coin shy of finishing Madagascar, and now only three coins short of Cameroon! Yippee, things are going quite nicely. Now I need to decide which to colony to focus on next...

I am really a fan of the design as well, both the 1940s/50s design that you pictured and the earlier design that I pictured. I am not nearly as big a fan of the 1943 series of "Free French" coinage, with a rooster. They are very difficult to find in nice shape, attractive, well struck, and problem free.

 

Yes, I do have both of the St Pierre & Miquelon coins, I bought them together as well (it's easier to buy them together than it is to find them separately, or so it seems on Ebay). You got a two for one on the ships thing with that coin, though, it has ships on the obverse and reverse!

The Cameroon piece is not often seen except in pretty poor condition.

 

Nice coin.

So, I just made an equally great steal - I got the 1925 counterpart for $25. Take a look and tell me how I did.
