FRANCE. 50 Francs, 1858-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon III. NGC MS-64.
Fr-571; KM-785.1; Gad-1111. A beautiful and prooflike example with remarkable reflectivity in the fields. The devices are sharp and heavily frosted, with faint traces of planchet adjustment to be seen across Napoleon III's cheek. The overall khaki-gold coloration is accented by subtle hints of amber patina near the borders. Encapsulated in an old "no-line" NGC holder with just two coins certified finer at MS-65.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
