France
Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1865-A AU58 NGC, Paris mint, KM802.1. A far rarer year for this coveted large gold denomination, and in a lofty near-Mint State grade. Positively aglow with a bright yellow-white luster, especially limited wear to its surfaces and indeed its sole detraction a scattering of hairlines and contact marks in the fields; a common attribute for this large gold type, due to its common use in inter-bank exchanges within bags. Nothing that the collector will find significant compared to its rarity and eye appeal.
