Watch List notes:

France (Paris mint), 5 francs, 1873-A, encapsulated NGC MS 66. KM-820.1. On the higher side of Mint State examples graded by NGC, with only two higher at MS 67, light grey toning over significant luster with choice rainbow colors around the design elements (the central figure of Hercules appears to have a gold halo), quite pretty. ($400-600)
