SPAIN 1712 "Finest Known" 8 ESCUDOS ~ NGC 63 ~
SPAIN 1712 8 ESCUDOS (CAYON-9936) FINEST KNOWN NGC 63 "OF ONLY 2 KNOWN GRADED TOTAL!" OTHER PIECE IS A 58! "303 YEARS OLD!" RARE-RARE-RARE NOT ONLY IS THERE ONLY 2 EVER GRADED FOR THIS YEAR, AND THIS IS THE FINEST OF THOSE TWO, BUT IN OUR RESEARCH WE CAN FIND ONLY 10 PIECES FOR ABOUT 50 YEARS (1699 – 1749) THAT HAVE EVER HIT THE MS CATEGORY (61 TO 64)! OF THOSE 10 (FOR ALL 50 YEARS) ONLY 3 HAVE EVER REACHED THE CHOICE MS 63 STATUS – WITH ONLY 3 THAT HAVE HIT THE FINEST 64 GRADE! I HAVE NOT SEEN THE OTHER 9 MS (MINT STATE) COINS BUT IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE ANY PIECE MEETING THE QUALITY AND THE GOLDEN LUSTER OF THIS COIN. STILL RETAINING IT'S LUSTER, NOT ONLY ON LEGENDS (AS TYPICALLY RETAINED) BUT THROUGHOUT THE FILEDS AS WELL. THE CENTERING IS, WELL, DARE I SAY AS NEAR PERFECT AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!! THE FRONT CENTERING I WOULD RATE AS A 10 OUT OF 10! THE REVERSE IS A SOLID 9+! WHAT'S EQUALLY AMAZING IS THERE ARE NO FILED MARKS (HITS) FRONT OR BACK, JUST PURE GOLD LUSTER THROUGHOUT! EASILY QUALIFYING AS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY AND A TROPHY PIECE IN ANY ADVANCED WORLD GOLD COLLECTION!
