Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Mainz-Archbishopric. Emeric Josef gold Ducat 1769-DF, KM371, Fr-1680, MS63 NGC. Entirely prooflike and ideally centered on the flan. Impressive mirrored reflectivity in the fields and mildly frosted central surfaces produce an attractive cameo appearance. The strike is nothing short of full with all design features having been fully rendered. A most impressive example of this three-year type and quite possibly the finest known.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R.
