FRANCE. 100 Franc, 1903-A. PCGS MS-64+ Gold Shield.
Fr-590; KM-832; Gad-1137. A virtual Gem on the obverse with scintillating gleam and light rosy tone in the fields. The reverse is also rather choice for the issue, with similar, albeit slightly softer tone, and a tiny amount of grade-limiting chatter around the denomination. Altogether, quite RARE in this captivating quality and presently the only MS-64+ of this date graded by PCGS or NGC with none finer at either service. As such, an important offering for the grade-conscious collector of this coveted "Genius writing the Constitution" 100 Francs type.
Estimate: $3000.00- $6000.00
