France
Louis XIII gold 1/2 Louis d'Or 1642-A MS61 PCGS, Paris mint, KM125. Beautiful, a coin which one rarely encounters in Mint State. This specimen is housed in an old green label PCGS holder, and one imagines a regrade would be rewarded with an even loftier certification; Louis's portrait is exceptional, truly outstanding in its production and preservation, no wear present on either of this coin's surfaces. Very rare in this grade, and guaranteed to encourage strong bidding from collectors of the French series.
