FRANCE. 100 Francs, 1859-BB. Strasbourg Mint. Napoleon III. NGC MS-61.
Fr-570; KM-786.2; Gad-1135; F-550. Mintage: 9,305. A flashy example of the type with signs of handling consistent for the grade that slightly subdues that luster in the open fields, but with plenty remaining luster in the protected areas. Aside from trivial surface abrasions, no major marks to speak of. Hints of orange tone hug the devices, slightly accentuating the central design features.
Estimate: $1800.00- $2200.00
