NETHERLANDS. Utrecht. Ducaton, 1766. NGC MS-63.
Dav-1832; KM-92.1; Delm-1031. Unquestionably special quality for the issue, this example was boldly struck on a problem-free planchet with unimpeded reflectivity in the fields that imparts a fully prooflike appearance. Quite possibly struck for presentation, this piece has evidently been handled with great care since its creation, as the surfaces hold only faint evidence of gentle handling, with virtually no contact marks to speak of. The appearance of electric blue tone with softer red and orange compliments along the upper portions of both sides solidifies the exceptional visual nature of this piece. For the collector who has been seeking a impressive example of this classic "Silver Rider" type, look no further -- this is your coin!
Estimate: $3000 - $6000
