from Stack's Bowers 2016 ANA sale, lot 20455
France SB816-20455r.jpg

This specimen was lot 20455 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Anaheim, CA, August 2016), where it sold for $1,116.25. The catalog description[2] noted, "FRANCE. Franc, 1832-K. Bordeaux Mint. PCGS MS-64 Secure Holder. First year of the laureate head coinage. A remarkable piece from one of the mints with a lower mintage for this year. With almost unbelievably minimal contact marks allowing the fields to radiate their strong luster. Some slide friction is present on the high points as attested to by slightly different hued toning from the surrounding areas. The periphery and central reverse who some toning while the fields and bust have a diaphanous silvery tone. Tied with one other example as the finest piece certified." This scarce branch mint issue is not priced in Le Franc[1] above TB (very fine).

Recorded mintage: 34,715[1].

Specification: 23 mm diameter, 5 grams, 0.900 fine silver, reeded edge. Designed by Joseph François Domard, 1792-1858.

Catalog reference: F.210/7, KM-748.7; Gad-453.
