French Cochin China
French Colony 10 Cents 1879-A MS65 PCGS, Paris mint, KM4, Lec-17. Fully Gem Mint State, and thoroughly impressive as such for this minor, darkened charcoal toning accents along the contours of the raised features creating a silhouetting effect that highlights the clean silver color of the fields. Only one presently ranks a point finer, pointing to the great conditional rarity of this piece.
