Papal States. Gregory XVI Scudo Anno I (1831)-B UNC Details (Obverse Tooled) NGC, Bologna mint, KM1315.1. Beautifully toned with a noticeable watery, mirror finish close to the devices, it appears that the tooling noted by NGC refers to some light smoothing in the fields. Carefully executed, however, this unfortunate blemish does not seem to have harmed the devices in the slightest, which for their part appear highly mintstate, especially as one turns to the highly original reverse scene--every detail and edge cut out by the tone and expertly executed strike.
