French Indo-China: French Colony silvered-bronze Sapeque 1898-A UNC (Plated), ...

Description

French Colony silvered-bronze Sapeque 1898-A UNC (Plated), Paris mint, Lec-13a. Ineligible for encapsulation due to plating. An intriguing representative and one that has appeared at market previously with similar ambiguity on origin, as comparable examples eluded Lecompte. Based on analysis from XRF, this is more akin to what Lecompte states as silvered-bronze, which may be the cause for NGC's assertion of plating.

1898-A年大法國之安南當二鍍銀鎳質樣幣。UNC（Plated）。
巴黎造幣廠。由於金屬鍍層不適合評級封裝。此為法屬系列極爲有趣的發行，亦曾出現於市場上但其來源模糊，而 Lecompte亦查不到類似的例子。
