Description

Key Near-Gem 1896-A 100 Francs

Republic gold 100 Francs 1896-A MS64 NGC, Paris mint, KM832, Fr-590, Gad-1137. Mintage: 400. Struck from among the smallest mintages for this ever collectible type and showcasing appearances akin to a more modern striking, one feels a sense of amazement when viewing this piece in-hand. Waves of brilliance ripple across the surfaces upon inspection, highlighting amber silhouettes and nary an imperfection, providing instant verification of additional care and attention to detail that accompanied the piece's production. While this spectacular outlier is accompanied by the occasional flan flaw noted to the reverse, it's eye appeal and preservation cannot be understated. Of the small amount currently submitted to either certification service, the current representative ranks near the peak, bested only by a single grade-point by three specimens, making this among the toughest 100 Francs to acquire so fine.
