Guatemala
Charles IV gold 2 Escudos 1789 NG-M AU53 PCGS, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM47, Cal-299. A very rare example of this transitional Guatemalan issue, and quite possibly the finest of the date to survive, with a fully wholesome appearance that combines significant remaining luster around the protected fields with rosy toning highlights that sit atop the raised surfaces. Easily the finest we've encountered (the next being a NGC-graded Fine 12 that sold for $2,820 in 2016) and similarly unrivaled in the PCGS and NGC population reports. Undoubtedly a specialist's coin, finding another example with eye-appeal as fine as this piece may never come again. Don't regret letting this one get away!
