SPAIN. 8 Reales, 1731-S PA. Seville Mint. Philip V. NGC MS-63+.
KM-357. Cal-Type 184#1620. Variety with assayer's initials (PA) displayed horizontally. A true marvel, this lovely 8 Reales of Philip V retains a freshly-made appearance, with frosty white luster that cascades over the surfaces and a strike that gives full detail to every element of the design. A breathtaking lack of marks contributes to this coin's wonderful list of attributes as well, cementing the appearance of a full near-Gem coin. Not surprisingly, it is also the finest graded of the issue, with a scan of archived auction results making it appear unlikely that another of this caliber exists. As such, the collector that seeks immaculate crowns is certain to celebrate this offering, as few coins can compare to the immense qualifications of this miraculous piece.
From the Avrabanel Collection.
Estimate: $7500 - $15000
