Joseph Napoleon Real 1812 M-AI MS62 NGC, Madrid mint, KM553, Cal-65. De Vellon coinage. From a short-lived two-year type. Indisputably scarce in uncirculated condition, with only three examples having certified at that level across PCGS and NGC combined. Though this is the third-highest graded, the offering simply exudes quality and exceptional eye appeal, with its smooth satiny surfaces, uniformly milled edge, and extreme clarity of detail throughout. Interestingly, the "H" in Joseph is virtually nonexistent, which could possibly indicate a piece of debris having stuck in the "H" of the die before striking. In either case, a superb representative of this issue, and a missing link for most Napoleonic collectors.
