Netherlands East Indies
Java. United East India Company Rupee 1765 UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, KM175.1, Scholten-457e (R). Scholten mm 8. Simply unheard-of condition for this almost universally heavily circulated and frequently cleaned type, the surfaces icy and fully satiny, radiant flow lines pervading throughout the surfaces and giving the coin an overall shimmering finish. It would seem to the present cataloger that the "cleaned" designation assigned by NGC, something of a disservice to so gorgeous a specimen, likely comes from a lack of cartwheel luster--a feature which is never found on even Mint State Javanese rupees of the period. Needless to say this is likely one of the nicest available. From the Seki Collection
