Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1868-BB MS63+ NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM802.2, Gad-1136. Mintage: 789. A decidedly choice example of this challenging mint-date, which prominently features serene, silky luster that whirls throughout straw-gold fields to highlight a level of quality that remains elusive for any Napoleon III 100 Francs. This is no ordinary issue, however, with the 1868-BB representing an unusually low-mintage date, rendering this minimally handled example as one of even greater importance to the advanced collector of the Napoleon III, and more widely, French series. Flashy and even subtly reflective to the reverse, with clear, fine die polish lines serving to further indicate this offering's sharp preservation.
