France
Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1864-A MS64 NGC, Paris mint, KM802.1, Fr-551, Gad-1136. One of the most iconic French gold issues, highly coveted for their large size and heft. These popular attributes, unfortunately, also serve as their downfall as their weight and storage in bank bags often lead to numerous nicks and hairlines peppering their surfaces from contact with other specimens. This near gem, accordingly, is highly unusual for its sleek surfaces alive with mint luster and bearing exceptionally few of these detracting marks, richly colored a honey-gold with exquisite striking detail. The last MS64 specimen of this year we handled sold at our April 2018 sale for $15,600, and we do not doubt that this comparable offering will attract the bidder attention it deserves.
