FRANCE. Carolingians. AR Denier, ND (ca. 875-877 or 884-887). Bourges Mint. Charles (The Bald) (840-877) or Charles (The Fat) (884-887). NGC AU-55.
cf.Roberts-1564. Struck as the Carolingian Empire entered into a irreversible decline. Exceptionally clear legends much as the assigned grade would suggest. Deep glossy charcoal tone with a scattering of sky-blue sheen when viewed at an angle to the light source. Nicely centered, never clipped or bent. NGC AU-55.
Estimate: $200.00- $300.00
