1887-A France 5 Centimes PCGS MS64BN - Scarce Low Mintage Cérès Bronze
Up for sale is a beautifully preserved 1887-A France 5 Centimes, professionally graded and certified by PCGS as MS64BN (Mint State 64 Brown).
This coin is an exceptional survivor from the French Third Republic featuring the iconic Cérès design by Eugène-André Oudiné. Struck at the historic Paris Mint (A mint mark), the 1887 issue is a notoriously scarce date with a low total mintage of just over 1 million pieces, making high-grade Mint State examples incredibly difficult to find.
