Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Carlos IV gold 4 Escudos 1805 So-FJ, KM62, AU55 NGC. Some highpoint loss on the bust is attributable to strike and brief circulation, but the fields sparkle throughout with bright yellow-gold color. While indicative of the type, a number of planchet imperfections are evident on the obverse and flow through Carlos' head and behind his portrait. The 4 Escudos denomination is generally considered the most scarce from the Spanish Colonial period. The present date is no different; a quick scan of archived auction records yields only a single other example of the date being sold in recent years. A rare opportunity for the specialist.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $1300 in VF, $2200 in EF.
Estimate: 2500-3500 USD
