Lot Description

This is a CHOICE Mint State example, that is tied for FINEST graded at NGC, and PCGS has graded only a half dozen finer. Strong, rolling cartwheel luster is seen on both the obverse and reverse. The surfaces are totally original in color with a hint of sparkling reflectivity when viewed in a brilliant light source. There is some scattered chatter, typical of these large gold coins. This piece, more than likely was part of a European bank holding that was repatriated, as it has that classic, crusty look. PCGS 78, NGC 27. The last one sold in the 2020 FUN auction for $7,500. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $8,500. None are graded higher at NGC and anything graded higher at PCGS will cost well into the five figures. Good luck! Cert. Number 172205-054 PCGS # 9007.00
