Never before have we had the opportunity to handle so many of these Piefort Proof sets within a single auction, all imposing in their own right, from mintages in the low hundreds to those in the single digits. Here we have an impressive earlier group of specimens, including the elusive 50 Francs, each displaying deep honeyed surfaces, the majority supporting "Ultra Cameo" appearances, thus adding to the overall allure of the set at hand. All but the Centime includes its original COA and accompanied by a single issue Monnaie de Paris box.
