after sifting through yet another 20kilos of coins i found some delightfull stuff, among them was a french 1 franc coin dating 1854 with a gold tinge to it.its obviously not gold as it weighs too little but i cant find a listing for it anywhere as all the ones iv'e seen have a different reverse.anyone out there any ideas on value/grade etc..
many thanks

The 1854 1 Franc is what you have. The spec's are as follows:

90% Silver
.1446 oz ASW
Krause #: KM 779.1
764,000 coins minted
Value: Fine $25.00
VF 50.00
EF 150.00
UNC 350.00
It looks like a pretty nice coin!
