Description

Low-Mintage Napoleon III of Highest Quality

Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1868-BB MS64 NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM802.2, Gad-1136. Mintage: 789. A magnificent, Choice Mint State example featuring elite-level characteristics of virtually pristine surfaces with delicate die polish lines, faultless luster and strong enough strike to capture the intricate details in the Coat of Arms in aching precision. As a whole, the present offering engenders an impression of pristine originality and extends a fleeting opportunity for the advanced collector of French series to obtain one of the only three highest graded pieces for this date/mint combination across the two grading services. We note the we had the pleasure of auctioning an almost equally pleasing MS63+ in October 2021 for $16,800.
