France
Napoleon III gold 20 Francs 1858-A MS65 PCGS, Paris mint, KM781.1. This coin deserves your undivided attention. It seems strange that gold can arrive in so many colors, but one often sees it appear coppery, or pale, or a richer yellow--or, like this present specimen, a dazzling, vibrant, awe-inspiring lustrous honey color. Already a rare gem grade for this type, the true appeal of this piece lies in its magnificent planchet coloring, backlit by full cartwheel luster. Unlikely to be beaten by any in terms of eye appeal. Housed in an old green-label PCGS holder.
