An absolutely superlative set, featuring two examples of each denomination, with every coin being a fully blazing gem. Though all have the brown designation, it mainly applies to the fields, which feature a red-brown that verges on violet rather than the expected basic brown. Meanwhile, the effigies of Louis Philippe are seemingly electrified with an intense array of cobalt, nearly producing a cameo effect. Endlessly alluring, with little, if any, possibility of improvement. Also included is the original green case of issue.

Estimate: $2000.00- $2400.00
