FRANCE. 5 Francs, 1852-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon III (as Louis-Napoleon). NGC PROOF-63.
KM-773.1; Gad-726; F-329. Variety with "BARRE" signed below bust. Normally found as the readily available circulation strikes, these EXTREMELY RARE proof versions seldom appear on the market, are always heavily sought after and highly desirable. The intricate frosted devices offer a nice contrast to the flashy reflective fields all complemented by rich mottled patina in the upper portion of the coin. A real treat for advanced collector for the opportunity to acquire such a great numismatic rarity from the prolific French series sure to garner much interest from potential bidders.
Estimate: $10000 - $20000
