Confederation Zurich Shooting Festival 5 Francs 1859 MS67 PCGS, Bern mint, KMX-S5, Häb-7. Mintage: 6,000. From both the perspectives of technical perfection and eye appeal, it is hard to imagine a more desirable example of this issue than the present piece. Fantastic satiny blue surfaces combine with flawless fields to elevate this coin to a level above its peers. Indeed, between both NGC and PCGS, there are just three other examples at the MS67 level, with none finer, out of a combined 149 graded pieces. Certainly a coin for the collector who wants the very best.
