FRANCE. Louis dOr, 1753-A. Paris Mint. Louis XV. NGC MS-66+. Fr-464; KM-513.1; Gad-341. The single finest certified of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. As a type this piece stands as the single second finest certified with only six examples finer by a mere half grade point (NGC MS 67 [5] & MS 67 PL [1]). A RARE state of preservation for this issue seldom encountered in the marketplace. An absolutely outstanding representative of the type exhibiting a crisp bold strike with frosty devices and smooth satiny surfaces displaying a nice cartwheel effect. Lovely mottled sunset hued patina adds to the allure of this fantastic survivor perfect for the connoisseur of world gold coins.
