Ancient Roman Coins for collectors.
I went to an antique store today and purchased a few coins. The owner gave me this 1832 coin, he told me that he was not sure what it was. This coin has writing on the edge. What is it ? Does it have any value. it is about the size of a silver dollar. sorry about the reverse picture it is a bit blurry.

It’s a silver 5 franc coin, it says Louis Philippe I, King of the French on the front i saw some on ebay from $5 to $90 but it depends on the year on how much its worth i guess
Go to: http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/France.html part of http://worldcoingallery
Scroll down & click on “km # 749″ to get information for this coin. It is pictured there for comparison.
This is a French coin.
Yes it is from France but to get a value I need to know the mint mark. It is on the reverse on the bottom right. They were minted in 12 different places. The coin is called a crown by collectors that collect this sort of item. Most countries have made them, crowns that is. The U.S. silver dollar is considered a crown.
