Lote 30051. Republic gold 100 Francs 1887-A MS63 PCGS, Paris mint, KM832, Gad-1137, F-552. One of the key rarities of the French Genie series with a limited mintage of only 234 pieces. In addition to absolute rarity, the specimen on offer holds conditional appeal, with only 7 examples across PCGS and NGC ranked finer. This particular item shines forth with a khaki-gold aura, its devices frozen in a laudable state of maintenance with only grade-commensurate wisps and a few scattered light marks to note. Certain to garner interest amongst up-and-coming collectors of this series. Ex.
