FRANCE. Franc, 1854-A. Paris Mint. Napoleon III. NGC MS-62.
KM-779.1; Gad-460. Surpassed in the NGC census by just one specimen, this charming minor features a deeper tone on the bust that, when combined with the exceptionally brilliant fields, yields an almost cameo effect. A golden-pastel tone merely augments its already strong appeal.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
