Unknown 1875-A 5 Franc French Proof

3 posts • viewed 77 times

My friend consigned this coin to Heritage and they set it off to NGC for slabbing. It came back as an unknown proof. Could it be an essai?

(I found a 5 centimes coin of the same year, which NGC designated as an essai, and it didn't have the word “ESSAI” on the coin.)

Impressive!

Heritage fairly gushes over it. 

Bonne chance!
