Elizabeth I (1558-1603) gold Angel 1558-1560 MS63 NGC, London mint, First issue of 1558-1560, Lis mm, S-2513A, N-1979 (R). A very rare variety of this ever-popular gold type defined by the inner beaded circle on the obverse in place of a wire line, as seen on the opposite side. The strike is absolutely superb and has raised needle-sharp details throughout the charming design while the fields display very little post-strike handling, only vibrant luster with just a couple of minuscule copper spots.
