1984 French 10 francs!

This is a beautiful coin in a bad shell. It's pretty well oxidized which is why it's black instead of its normal gold-ish color. You can still see some remnants on the obverse but it's basically all black. There's a very cool description of it here and it gives all of the specifics and such. The only thing it doesn't give is the value which is $1.50.

1964 Argentina 10 Pesos!

A shot of the nickel-clad steel edge.

 We've finally come to an end. This is the last coin in the $0.01-$10.00 series and, of course, it falls perfectly on a Sunday. That way I can start with the "regular stuff" tomorrow (A.K.A. Monday). The reason regular is in quotes is because this series has become regular to me so to not do it is irregular. Well anyway this coin is a nickel clad steel coin which is kind of unusual- at least to me. I think I've got one other coin that involves nickel and steel and it's right here so go check it out. I may have some other coins that involve both but if so I don't remember them. As can be easily told this coin is in pretty good (AU) condition which makes it worth around $1.50.

Below is an alternate picture of the obverse. I thought it was nice so I figured I'd post it here along with everything else too. 

1991 French 10 Francs!

I was considering censoring this but since since "it" is so small there's no need. This is in terrible condition for being so new and having not been in circulation long. I guess it's pretty heavy like the British Pound which makes it easier to be scrached and apparently run over. There are two versions of this coin. One has medal alignment and the other coin alignment which you can read about here. This one has the coin alignment, which does not matter because they have the same value, and is worth around $1.50.

1954-R Italian 10 Lire!

Another Italian coin. This one seems to be more farm-oriented. It's also rather plain the one thing that did surprise me was the toning. I mean take a look at that beautiful, peachy reverse. Whew! Despite the toning it still has wear, scratches, and that greenish-brown obverse which makes the value around $0.60. Not too bad for a little aluminum coin!

1992 Russian 10 Roubles!

Here's a nice transitional coin. As most of us know, the 1990's were the years that saw the Soviet Union dissolve. Russia issued coins that were rather plain like this as a transition from their communist-oriented coinage. They saved the fancy, expensive looking coins for their commemoratives, one of which I have and will be posting next week. Like I said this coin is rather plain and worth around $0.50.
