Louis Philippe I gold 20 Francs 1831-A MS65 NGC, Paris mint, KM746.1, Fr-553. Variety with raised letters. An enchanting gem, exhibiting brilliantly lustrous surfaces and a hint of a golden-orange tone. Worthy of a strong premium in this elite designation. Compare to a PCGS MS65 (with some die rust observed in the fields), which realized a hammer of $3,200 in our 2017 Long Beach auction (sale 3057, lot 30743).
