FRANCE. Copper 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), Lan 10 (1802). Paris Mint. Napoleon I. PCGS Specimen-64 BN Gold Shield..Maz-611. Sharply struck with nice even brown surfaces and good eye appeal. While strongVERY SCARCE /strongas a type and scarcely offered, we actually just sold another example graded SP-63 BN by PCGS in our 2019 NYINC auction for $900. This example, being the single finest graded at PCGS, should receive as much, if not more attention from collectors of Napoleonic period issues..
