NETHERLANDS. Holland. Lion Daalder, 1576. NGC MS-63.
Dav-8838; Delm-831. Always encountered as a crude type, this example presents quality that would seemingly be unrivaled. The legends are complete and the devices are quite sharp, with the fields retaining great brilliance and the overall color offering some light blue and golden hints. Ever-popular with American collectors on account of its colonial role, it will assuredly generate a good deal of enthusiasm and, rather unsurprisingly, stands as the finest seen at NGC for the date.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
