Found 1886 IH, 1853 3 cent silver piece and 1850 silver french coin Sorta

I did find them but I have owned them for a long time. My Dad moved recently and I was over his house going though my old boxes from when I was a kid. In one of them I found a bag of coins I bought at a flea market when I was 16. (long time ago.... lol) Mostly junk but also had a 1886 IH, a 1853 Silver 3 cent peice and a 1850 French coin. I remember buying the bag for $5.00 so I think I did OK. lol Wish I would have bought more!!! Anyone have any info on the French coin? It says "republique Francaise" on the front and "liberte egalite fraternite" "20 cent" on the back. I really need to get a coin value book. I have no idea what any of them are worth. I havent been able to find a site (in english) with the french coin from the 1850's.

Have fun!!

Thanks for the info! It was kind of cool because when I showed them to my Dad he showed me some of his coins I didnt know he had as well! I Bought these on a whim, put them in a drawer and forgot about them until yesterday. Wish it was that easy to find 1800's coins all the time. :)
