France
Republic gold 50 Francs 1896-A MS62 PCGS, Paris mint, KM831, Fr-591. A scarcer date in this series, from a mintage of just 800 pieces. Simply glowing with luster, its surfaces semi-prooflike where satin gives way to reflectivity, its strike bold enough to give full detail; numerous light bagmarks are all that prevent this piece from entering an even higher grade. Choice for the issue and worthy of significant bidder attention.
