FRANCE. 10 Francs, 1851-A. Paris Mint. PCGS MS-66 Gold Shield.
Fr-567; KM-770; Gad-1012. Tied for finest certified of the date at PCGS with two others (one of which is certified as Prooflike). A tremendous survivor, far superior to those normally encountered, boasting a bold full strike with needle sharp frosty details. The satiny surfaces are smooth with a nice cartwheel effect that pops out when tilted in the light. From a two-year type, this piece is unquestionably RARE in this state of preservation, thus making it a prime candidate for the advanced cabinet of a discerning collector.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
