The market in the United States has already adapted its own standards to
its pricing for high quality French coins. Small increases in the quality of
an uncirculated coin can mean a large increase in that coin’s price. French
dealers will note this and take advantage of it, if only for purely economic
reasons. French collectors will soon do likewise, or else watch their best coins
go into collections in other countries. This book, by French numismatists
familiar with American coins and the American coin market, is an attempt to
bring the future of French numismatics a little closer. Its intention is to put the
domestic French market on an equal footing with its American counterpart
and show, to quote Marvin Gaye,
“what’s goin’on.”
