Philip V gold 4 Escudos 1740/30 Mo-MF XF45 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM135, cf. Cal-246 (unlisted overdate). Choice for the designation, with vibrant orange color over partially lustrous surfaces and the expected limited wear and handling marks at this grade. A decidedly challenging date/overdate for the issue, missing from the Norweb and Gerber collections, and represented by a damaged specimen in the Eliasberg group (although the latter was described as 1740/39 as have been a few others, the cataloguer has not seen a specimen showing a conclusive 9/0 in the last digit).From The Rudman Collection of Mexican Coins
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
