Looks like I've found two variants not listed on the website above    I shall look out for any others.............
I've also edited the info above.

Hmm, according to that macollectiondemonnai.zxq.net page (second link in your second post), it is the "Corne d'abondance". In English cornucopia or horn of plenty - and that is the mintmark of the Monnaie de Paris ...

Yes, no I'm having troubling with the S's

[redwine]

Here are the two mintmarks used.

[chrisild]

Right you are - I could not recognize the different MMs in your first (group) image, but when I was at that website, I noticed that they list the two types, and provide enlarged images too. Sorry for the confusion, and I don't know about the "two S" mark either ...

Christian

[redwine]

No probs. I forgot to upload the mintmark images

Picture taken in Paris from a car, so not too sharp, but the message is there: today, Taxiphone is a small supermarket!

An example of a driveby shooting!
Reprehensible Peter!! 

[malj1]

Peter please forgive the intrusion, here is the image again after a bit of a fiddle. 

[chrisild]

Oh, that place.

Christian

[Figleaf]

If Rome needs another fiddler, I'll recommend you, Malcolm. Thank you. @chrisild: I would have used that pic if the darn truck hadn't been in the way.

[chrisild]

Well, without Malcolm's editing job I could not have read the phone number ... and then located the place.
