The only copy seen is in AU, no information on sales in different states of conservation.
If you have a more worn copy than the known minimum conservation state, remove aproximately 30 percent for each lower conservation state. In the opposite case, you probably have the best known copy, as long as the coin is not sold, we can not know what price will be obtained in auction.
Quote of cgb.fr about this coin: '' This is a very rare essai: it is the first time we offer such a copy for sale.
Gadoury and V. Guilloteau rank it in the First Empire; Mazard classifies it under the Second Republic; likely strike in 1851. ''.
