Carl XIV Johan Speciedaler 1823 MS63 NGC, Kongsberg mint, KM290, Dav-240, Ahlstrom-3. Mintage: 16,200. The key date for the issue, and very rare in any condition, so much so that we've been unable to locate any other sales records for this date in any grade! Therefore, in the fabulous Mint State in which this piece presides, a coin that is quite possibly without equal, with surfaces that exhibit sparkling luster through a thin veil of golden-brown patina and few marks. The strike is also near complete, with its placement on the obverse running just off the flan between 12 and 4 o'clock. For the specialist, undoubtedly a monumental opportunity, the likes of which may not come again; expect fierce competition for this one!
Estimate: 6000-9000 USD
