Republic gold Specimen Piefort 50 Francs 1974 SP68 PCGS, KM-P510. Mintage: 241. Nearing the peak of certification and well within the bounds of jewel stature, this fully frosted and deeply cameoed example appears nearly jet-black when viewed head-on - a result of endless mirror depth that resides over minimally disturbed fields approaching flawless preservation. One of three examples certified in this elite condition by PCGS to date, where it is currently tied for "top pop" status.
