Papal States. Pius IX Scudo Anno II (1847)-R MS63 PCGS, Rome mint, KM1336.1. A stunning issue with a singular level of eye-appeal, this example displays an intense glossiness and reflectivity to the obverse fields that is emboldened by the fiery tones of the peripheries, igniting the entire composition into a blaze of summery colors. The wreath on the reverse appears especially frosty, though here the surfaces take on a noticeably more satin finish, likely just keeping the piece short of proof. Nonetheless a piece that seems conservatively graded.
