FRANCE, Royal. Louis XIII le Juste (the Just). 1610–1643. Gilt Æ Medal (59mm, 64.74 g, 12h). The Church of Saint Louis. By an uncertain medallist. Dated 1627 (in Roman numerals).

FRANCE. 1812 letter to Napoléon I regarding a collection of gold medals for Marie-Louise. With the emperor's signature. Written in black and red ink on two sides of a folded 19.7x37cm sheet. Folded. From the DMS Collection, purchased from Ira & Larry Goldberg.A note from the collector: Years ago, I bought a Napoléon initialed document, a budget request to French emperor Napoléon Bonaparte in April of 1812. The request concerned a series of 108 medals struck in gold, issued in honor of his exploits, to be given by Napoléon to his second wife, Marie-Louise, at a cost of 26, 326 Francs, an amazing sum in those days. Napoléon used medals as propaganda to promote his successes, and a real personality cult developed with devoted collectors of all things Napoléon. Over the years, I have bought some of the medals in bronze – not gold– and together they make a nice display. These medals were issued under the authority of M. Denon, director of the French mint in Paris, and later the first director of the Louvre Museum, who had first come to Napoléon's attention during the Egyptian expedition.

FRANCE, Second Empire. Napoléon III. 1852-1870. AR Medal (51mm, 64.33 g, 12h). Legislative Session of 1869. By Barré. Dated 1869. Presented to Émile Pereire. NAPOLEON III EMPEREUR, laureate head right / * CORPS LEGISLATIF * SESSION DE 1869, ÉMILE/ PEREIRE/ (GIRONDE) within wreath. Collignon –. Once wiped, now retoned. EF. Émile Pereire served from 1863 to 1869 as a member of the Corps Legislatif for Gironde, but he and his brother Isaac are even more well known for their involvement in France's financial sector. The brothers' grandfather was Jacob Rodrigues Pereira, a Spanish Sephardi Jew who moved to France in 1741, where he helped develop French sign language and served as an interpreter for Louis XV. Émile and his brother engaged in a number of successful business ventures in the 1830s, including heavy involvement in financing the construction of France's railways, and their house was a major competitor of the Rothschilds. In 1852, the brothers founded Crédit Mobilier, continuing their involvement in railroad and other financing. Despite the eventual failure of the bank and a general decline in the family's fortune, the Pereires were major contributors to France's internal development during the Second Empire.

1799 Draped Bust Dollar. BB-168, B-22. Rarity 5. PCGS VF 25. 21497838. Bowers Die State III. A horizontal die crack bisects the reverse, from the right side of the E to the left side of the M. Characteristic of this later die state is the blob at the crack as it touches the upper right of the E of UNITED and a wide crack as it touches the left serif of the M in AMERICA. The obverse die exhibits a crack from the rim upward between the 1 and 7 of the date. There is a raised die lump in the field to the right of Liberty's eye, another to the right of star ten near the denticles. BB-168 is among the scarcer die marriages for this 1799 issue. Its illusiveness can be attributed to the heavy bisecting die crack on the reverse which would have caused an early withdrawal of that die from production.
