Geneva. Canton gold 3 Pistoles 1771 MS65 NGC, KM84, Fr-261, HMZ-2-336a. Slight striking weakness is evident across the center features, an occurrence that appears to be the norm for the type rather than the exception. The preservation and allure of this specimen remains nearly unrivaled, with its gorgeous mint bloom of golden luster that most could only hope for from a relatively large gold issue of the period, this feature nearly undisturbed by handling. Though we previously sold an MS67 example in our NYINC Signature Auction 3061, Lot #32521, an offering that will likely remain unchallenged from a purely technical standpoint, we feel that this example offers a similar appeal.
