Decent source of French/Dutch coins?

Can anyone point me in the right direction to pickup a decent sized lot of French/Dutch nickel coins? Google hasn't been much help, there is plenty of info/sales sites for Canadian nickel, which is all well and good, but I like the idea of the Dutch coins especially because of the different denomiations (from 10 cents to 2.5 gulders are all .999 nickel.) Anyway - just seeing what's out there - thanks.

I have a few but now that you mention the -999 nickel I need to see what they are worth :)
Thanks as i have thought I would recycle them some how. Rosco

I would guess that you've checked eBay. But, if you search long enough you can find some good deals there. About a month ago when I couldn't afford silver I scoured eBay for .999 nickel and got some deals on some French and Ned. Antilles coins. Takes some looking but there are deals, maybe the recent commodities plummet will thin out the bidders. Good luck!

I had maybe 30+ lbs. of French and Dutch that I sold awhile back. Its hard to find in quantity.

Yeah it seems like a lot of them have already been melted down, most probably by the respective governments.
