Louis XV gold 1/2 Louis d'Or 1768-S MS62 NGC, Reims mint, KM517.7, Fr-465. Pleasing for the grade, a lustrous golden offering with rich amber tone abundant over the planchet and flowing between the boldly rendered designs. The obverse was clearly struck from a very worn die, bearing numerous die-polish lines; these may prevent this piece from entering the 'choice' level grade, but scarcely detract from its eye-appeal.
