- FRANCE. Nickel 5 Francs Essai (Pattern), 1941. PCGS SPECIMEN-67 Gold Shield. Maz-2661f; Gad-Unlisted; cf. KM-PE308. Struck on a double thick planchet, this bright and fully lustrous specimen exhibits reflective surfaces with frosted devices. Though the Mazard number is specific to a Nickel-Bronze alloy, the color would suggest that a more Nickel oriented composition was used for is striking, perhaps the same Copper-Nickel alloy that was used for the regular issues was employed for its manufacture. When holding a magnet to its surfaces there does not appear to be even the slightest resistance when removing said magnet which would indicate that it is not pure Nickel. This fascinating issue is sure to pique the interest of many advanced collectors seeking difficult to obtain and obscure pieces to add to their numismatic holdings. Estimate: $700 - $1,000.
