FRANCE. Nickel 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1970. Paris Mint. NGC MS-69.
KM-P408; Gad-154.13. Incredibly shimmering and alluring, this dazzling, nearly-flawless specimen presents a razor sharp strike and radiant luster that is seemingly off the charts. A RARE pattern issue, with just one other at this ultimate top spot in the NGC census.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
