Leopold I gold 10 Ducat 1703-NB AU Details (Plugged, Repaired) NGC, Nagybanya mint (in Transylvania), KM-A253, Fr-133, Husz-1282 (R16), Unger-966, Resch-Unl., CNA-114-a-1. 34.53gm. Johann Christian Brettschneider as mintmaster. Struck from Taler dies (cf. KM257). Date reworked from 1702. A type which almost always comes in poorer technical states, when it is locatable at all, with even the Eliasberg example showing a clear mount removal. For reference, the last (and only) specimen that we handled was certified UNC Details (Mount Removed, Repaired) from NGC, and yet it nonetheless realized $33,600 in our January 2018 NYINC sale. Although the present coin does contain tooling in the fields, the strike is well-centered, and wear has been kept to a minimum, while hardly any camber or evidence of bending is observed on the flan. Entirely unknown to Resch, this selection seems to be only the third representative to come to auction in recent years. As such, a coveted opportunity for collectors. This lot is sold with an old handwritten tag, dated to September 11, 1933.
