Charles III gold 4 Escudos 1781 Mo-FF AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM142.2, Cal-1819 (prev. Cal-338). Bordering on Mint State preservation with only a hint of friction over the obverse devices and populated by traces of mint bloom and russet patination to the outer registers, apparent upon illumination. An elusive date with a scarce grade designation, with NGC noting that this piece is tied with four others for the entire Charles III 4 Escudos series, and no examples finer across all dates. The last example offered at Heritage was an AU55 from the Rudman Collection in 2015. A coin, missing in Eliasberg, that should attract type and date collectors alike and thus induce competitive bidding.
