Mexico City, Mexico, bust 2 escudos, Charles III (young bust), 1760MM, very rare, ex-Huntington. CT-460; KM-128. 6.76 grams. Beautifully toned AU- with original luster in legends, possibly the finest known (superior to the Eliasberg and Rudman specimens) since the highest in NGC census is XF 45, in any case a very nice specimen of an attractive transitional type that almost never graces the market, with desirable pedigree. Pedigreed to the A.M. Huntington collection (Hispanic Society of America), with original tag #804.
Estimate: $3500
