FRANCE. 50 Francs, 1858-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon III. NGC MS-64.
Fr-571; KM-785.1; Gad-1111. A beautiful, prooflike example with remarkable reflectivity in the fields. The devices are sharp and heavily frosted, with faint traces of a few light marks across the emperor's cheek. The overall khaki-gold coloration is accented by subtle hints of amber patina near the borders. Encapsulated in an old "soapbox" holder, with just two specimens certified finer at MS-65.
Estimate: $1800 - $2200
