Napoleon III 5 Francs 1856-D MS65 NGC, Lyon mint, KM782.3. A rare issue from the Lyon mint in an incomparable level of technical quality that has yet to be surpassed, showing broad, argent surfaces mottled with delicate layers of lavender gray and accented by russet tone at the legends. Detail across the raised elements remains bold and aside from a mild mark or two, both sides of the planchet give off a pleasing freshness. Altogether stunning and with a level of eye appeal that will likely remain unmatched.
