France
Napoleon 2 Francs 1809-A MS66 NGC, Paris mint, KM693.1. An artistic jewel with an olive-brown patina that nearly covers both sides entirely, supported by an underlayment of splendorous pearlescent hues that permeate the fields. Not only is this selection visually incomparable, but its technical aspects are equally phenomenal, with devices that are practically as struck--showing highpoint detail and razor-sharp edges--all upon a planchet that has an uninterrupted glow that warms the central designs.
