FRANCE. Nickel Franc Essai (Pattern), 1929. Paris Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-66 Gold Shield.
Maz-2569; GEM-140.2. Weight: 6 gms. Intricately detailed with a mesmerizing glowing quality in the fields and nary a mark over the surfaces. Interestingly enough, the recorded weight on this piece is a full gram heavier than others we've seen listed, which could suggest it deserves an entirely separate listing than those previously recorded.
Estimate: $600.00- $900.00
