FRANCE. 5 Franc, 1807-L. Bayonne Mint. NGC MS-64.
KM-673.7; Gad-581; VG-1498. Incredibly well balanced in its presentation and on the cusp of Gem overall quality, this piece displays a full strike that not only imparts wonderful dimension in Napoleon's hair, but also crisply renders the closed wreath and denomination that make up the reverse centers. Exquisite tone, a blend of charming olives, golds and blues, blankets both sides with the vibrancy of the iridescence increasing near the raised surfaces. Finally, the appearance of few marks helps to secure the grade, with no instance demanding the eye's attention. Incredibly desirable as the single finest example certified at NGC or PCGS. NGC MS-64.
Estimate: $3000.00- $5000.00
