Bern. Canton gold Duplone 1797 MS65 PCGS, KM163. An amazing piece; the last time we sold a somewhat comparable piece was an NGC MS65 Prooflike in April, 2011 (Heritage 3014, lot 24943), which hammered at $6,000. A real Gem, this piece has significantly frosted devices and reflective fields; it's a wonder why PCGS didn't see fit to award this a "Prooflike" designation as well. We expect fierce competition from world gold type collectors.
Estimate: 3000-4000 USD
