Lote 30050. Napoleon III gold 100 Francs 1859-BB MS63 NGC, Strasbourg mint, KM786.2. A more ubiquitous type that we handle with relative frequency, but never before in this quality. Exceedingly flashy and embellished throughout by a thick satin sheen as the result of a definitive strike, bereft of any instances of handling that could be considered distracting by even the most seasoned and conditionally discriminating collector of this series. The piece at hand stands nearly atop the certified population, bested by a single occupant by way of a "+," making this an opportunity not to be missed.
