France: Napoleon gold 40 Francs 1806-A MS64 PCGS,...

Description

Napoleon gold 40 Francs 1806-A MS64 PCGS, Paris mint, KM675.1, Gad-1082. A truly awe-inspiring rendition of this highly collectible Napoleonic type, usually encountered just shy of a Mint State assignment, yet here a veritable near-Gem. Cartwheeling brilliance abounds this straw-gold outlier, highlighting only the trivial wisp that precludes a finer designation, while originality percolates throughout. Of the more than 250 examples submitted to both major grading services, only a single finds itself finer, making this an opportunity not to be missed by the quality-conscious type collector.
