Venice. Paolo Rainier Osella 1783-FD Anno V MS62 NGC, Paolucci II, 266. From an issue that is difficult to find in Mint State, this particular example is a lovely realization of such a find. The piece shows an even, deep silver tone, with gunmetal highlights embracing the legends and devices throughout. Typical weakness is encountered at the centers, although one could argue that this contributes further to the piece serving as a representative example of the type. The only example seen by NGC, and worthy of close collector attention.
