FRANCE. Louis dOr, 1666-A. Paris Mint. Louis XIV. PCGS MS-62.Fr-421; Gad-246. Obverse: Portrait of the young "sun king" with a brilliant sun above; Reverse: Cruciform double Ls, mintmark at center. A spectacular survivor of this challenging "juvenile" issue and the first that we have handled in nearly two decades. Sharply defined and nicely centered with tremendous luster glowing across both sides. Just a single example ranks finer at PCGS. <p>From the Dr. Michael Vale Collection.<p>
