Spain 8 Escudos 1704 "Only 3 Known!" NGC 61 Gold Doubloon
SPAIN 8 ESCUDOS 1704 "ONLY 3 KNOWN" NGC 61 GOLD DOUBLOON ~ PIECES OF EIGHT ~ OVER 300 YEARS OLD! ONLY 1 OF 3 KNOWN! NEARLY PERFECT CENTERING! DEEPLY STRUCK LEGENDS AND CROSS! REALLY LOOKS LIKE AN MS 64 OR 65 TO US! HAS A GOLDEN BUTER LOOK TO IT. THE OBVERSE HAS THE FULL CROWN (KING PHILIP V) WITH NO DISTURBANCES ANYWHERE, ALSO WITH NEARLY PERFECT CENTERING AS WELL (LITERALLY BOTH SIDES- VERY RARELY SEEN ON THIS TYPE!) NO DISTRACTIONS ON THE OBVERSE OR REVERSE AND EXTREMELY RARE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS GRADE. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT EXAMPLE FOR THE GRADE WITH SIGNIFICANT LUSTER RETENTION AND BOLD STRIKE (ALMOST COMPLETELY ABSENT OF ANY SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS!) WE ALSO HAVE IN OUR POSSESSION THE 1729 (ONLY 3 KNOWN!) AND THE 1723 IN NGC 45 THAT IS THE ONLY PIECE EVER GRADED ~ POP 1! WHEN COLLECTORS DREAM OF TREASURE THIS IS WHAT I PERSONALLY VISUALIZE, IT CAPTURES THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE ROMANTIC SPANIARD ERA, CENTURIES AGO! BURIED AT SEA ~ SUNKEN TREASURE SHIPS ~
