Philip V gold Cob 2 Escudos 1714 Mo-J MS64 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM53.2. Among the finest we have seen, desirable not only for the impeccable preservation of its surfaces, but also due to the readability of the date, which is often entirely off the flan. Comparable to an NGC-graded MS64 that we sold in January of 2016 (for $7,343.75) that had a clearer date, but also a reverse design that was far less centered than on the present coin. Undoubtedly a recovery coin from the 1715 Plate Fleet.
