Louis XV gold Louis d'or 1735-S MS63 NGC, Reims mint, cf. KM489.19, Fr-461, Gad-340 (R4). A scarcely-offered example from this lesser-seen mint, featuring a light layer of mottled tone atop the lustrous surfaces and rather impressive detail throughout the devices. Minimally handled, as is noted by the assigned grade, and with unobtrusive adjustment marks that only affect the edges. Wholly eye-appealing and absolutely coveted when offered at this Choice level of Mint State.
