France (Rouen mint), 1/4 franc, 1840/39-B, encapsulated NGC MS 62, extremely rare overdate. KM-740.2. Beautifully rainbow-toned, with muted luster, the overdate with clear 4/3 but far more subtle 0/9, which KM lists as just 184/30 with the notation "1 known" and valued at $750 in VF. This specimen is far superior to that grade, so we assume it is the finest of just 2 known, a very important coin for the French specialist.
