PING: oly, I am not easily surprised
I just learned that Victor Gadoury's Monnaies Françaises, also known as "Le
Rouge", has been published again, covering coinage through 2009. Price 29 euros. Apparently two of his contributors had bought out his company and have been issuing the title every other year. The review mentioned that Gadoury, whom I met when he used to set up at CICF, was Canadian by birth, not Monégasque, as I and a lot of other people thought. With the publication of that book, there is yet hope for the world! James |

Will the gentleman down around Atlanta GA who always handled the books in the past sell this one??? France has so much very low mintage NCLT anymore, well the book has to be getting quite thick. I have most of the Red ones, plus one copy of the White Gadoury (1978 2nd edition) and one copy of the Blue Gadoury. Happily, I also have two or three of his hard covered illustrated lists of jetons. Mr. Gadoury had something in him that made him a truly driven author. I met Mr. Gadoury three times at shows, and he inscribed a copy of the 1989 special Red edition ( a la Bicentaire de la Revolution) for me. I was always under the impression that Monsieur Gadoury was a European of some sort (possibly a Frenchman living in West Germany), but that the Monaco address shown in the front of his books was an address of convenience. Canadian(?), I cannot confirm. I do know that he had a nephew named J. Daniel Gadoury living in O Canada, just across the river from Detroit. About five to seven years ago, I bought some 1980s-dated silver 100 francs and such from him. The nephew was working as a photographer and Yoga instructor, very friendly person. Again, thanks for the info. oly oly |
