France
Napoleon gold 20 Francs 1806-A MS64 PCGS, Paris mint, KM674.1, Gad-1023. Truly inspiring, this selection represents the finest example of the type that we have encountered to-date, the closest being an NGC-certified MS63 offering that sold in Auction 3037 as Lot 29424 for $4,230 including Buyer's Premium. Satiny over the Emperor's bust, with aurous mint brilliance surrounding in the fields, the quality of this specimen is immediately felt upon even brief inspection. We note that the coin ties with only a single specimen seen by NGC for finest certified to-date, a distinction that speaks volumes as to the difficulty of acquiring representatives of such commendable quality as this.
