France
Napoleon III gold 50 Francs 1858-BB MS64+ PCGS, Strasbourg mint, KM785.2, Gad-1111. At the very cusp of gem certification, and essentially of this caliber in hand, with silky smooth luster that traverses the fields unimpeded and glowing brightly at the viewer as a backdrop to sharp devices. Struck in a limited mintage, only a fraction that of the Paris mint for the same year, and as the sole-finest representative of this date across both PCGS and NGC, imminently collectible.
