Louis XVI gold 2 Louis d'Or 1777/6-T UNC Details (Obverse Cleaned) NGC, Nantes mint, cf. KM575.13 (overdate not listed), Dup-1703, Gad-362 (R3; overdate not listed). A generally elusive bust type from Louis XVI's reign in gold already, let alone from this mint-date, with the added intrigue of this seemingly unlisted overdate. Missing from both the Gallia and Stack collections, this specimen continues to admit a notably glassy sheen over the obverse in spite of the noted cleaning, which for its part appears exceedingly light. We have been unable to locate another example in auction records from recent years, marking this as a significant rarity for mint-date collectors.
