James III (1461-1488) gold Rider ND (1475-1483) AU53 NGC, S-5256, Burns-pg. 148, 3. First Issue with king riding right. IACOBVS : DEI : GRA : RE X SCOTO R, armored James on horseback right, holding sword / SALVVM | FAC POP | VLVMTV | VMDNE, crowned coat of arms over long cross pattée. Very rare, a Scottish denomination scarcely offered at auction in any condition - this piece represents the single highest graded of the type by either NGC or PCGS. Well-struck on a round flan of good metal, perhaps a slight waviness to the planchet, yet not corresponding to any areas of weakness (as one sees on this type and its fraction). Clearly original surfaces gleam faintly, their color a rather rich aged-gold. This very piece last sold at auction unholdered for just under $10,000 hammer in September 2014. Now properly certified, we anticipate strong interest from collectors of hammered Scottish gold.
