Certified Bronze Minor Coinage, ca. 1848-1941. NGC, ANACS, ICG AU-50 to MS-65.
57 pieces in lot. A diverse lot of minor coinage stretching from 1 Centime pieces of the second Republic to wartime 10 Centime issues of the twentieth century with a very broad selection of denominations, dates and mints from the intervening second Empire and Republics. All have been certified by ANACS, ICG or NGC. The vast majority are in gem or near gem grades with nice luster, only a small handful receiving Details designations. Surprisingly little duplication making for a very nice offering for the collector looking to fill out or upgrade a minors collection. Also included among the regular issues is an 1853 medallic 5 Centimes commemorating Napoleon III's visit to Lille (Maz-1752b). Worth closer inspection to discover the full depth and breadth of this assemblage, and sure to reward the winning bidder. Retail value of about $2,500. SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS. NGC, ANACS, ICG AU-50 to MS-65.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
