Description

Tied for Finest 1867 Strasbourg 100 Francs

Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1867-BB MS64 NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM802.2, Gad-1136. Mintage: 2,807. A minimally available date at this preservation, with orange-tinged luster rising from the abyss to illuminate the surfaces on this conditionally scarce, large-format gold type. The intricate engravings strut their stuff in their Near-Gem state of preservation, elevating to a grade designation unlikely to be bested given the circulating nature of the type. Tied with a single other for finest certified between both censuses, and certain to pique the interest of collectors of one of the most sought-after types of the 19th century.

Sold with original collector's ticket.
