Vittorio Emanuele III gold 100 Lire 1912-R MS66 NGC, Rome mint, KM50, Fr-26. Mintage: 3,946. Of the greatest rarity in terms of technical quality, but with the added bonus of having exquisite eye appeal at every turn, this massive gold type features the uniformed bust of Vittorio Emanuele III and the allegorical depiction of agriculture in the form of Italia holding wheat and pushing a plow. As one might expect at this level, the near-pristine surfaces are full of amber-hued luster that flares across the open expanses, highlighting fresh, undisturbed fields and a few toning spots along the way. All the while, the main even--the central images--showcase each individual detail in high relief. Find a more lustrous, well-preserved example of this sought-after type you will not, as this offering remains unmatched at the certified level, and this issue continues to be exceedingly difficult to locate in grades finer than MS63.
