FRANCE. 5 Franc, 1874-K. Bordeaux Mint. PCGS MS-66+.
KM-820.2; Gad-745a. Nearly untouched quality with fine satin texture in the fields and delicate russet and blue tone that clings to the edges. While quality like this appears (and is sometimes even expected) from time to time on Paris mint issues, seldom does an issue from Bordeaux have such a superb appearance. RARE thus and presently the single finest graded Bordeaux mint 5 Francs from the Third French Republic era (1870-1940) at PCGS or NGC. PCGS MS-66+.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
