1720-A 20 Sol MS (PCGS#167113)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: Finest NGC-Certified 1720-A 20 Sols 1720-A Livre d'argent fin, or 20 Sols. John Law Issue. Paris Mint. Gadoury-296, Hodder-1. MS-64 (NGC). Beautifully toned surfaces exhibit powder blue peripheral highlights to otherwise silver and pewter-gray patina. Pretty champagne-apricot undertones also flash into view as the coin dips into a light -- very attractive. Ideally centered on the reverse, and only marginally less so on the obverse, both sides offer crisp detail to all major design elements. A smooth and lustrous finish rounds out an impressive list of attributes for this highly desirable example, struck at a time when John Law's Company of the Indies had control over the French mints and operated them for its own profit. NGC Census: 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 167113. Click here for certification details from NGC.
