Napoleon "African Head" 1/4 Franc 1807-A MS65 NGC, Paris mint, KM677, Gad-348. Obv. Bare head right. Rev. QUART within wreath, with date below. An absolutely incredible example of this popular one-year type. Mint State examples are quite rare, and a Gem, such as this piece, is virtually impossible o find. The strike is superb, and the surfaces pristine, with full, sparkling luster beneath glorious original reddish-blue and silver-gray toning. Only a single piece has been certified finer by NGC, and we doubt if that piece is any nicer than this coin.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
