Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Felipe V gold 4 Escudos 1734 Mo-MF, KM135, XF45 NGC. A scarce date and denomination. Vibrant russet-orange patina highlights much of the peripheral letters and central devices. Evidence of circulation is apparent on the central devices, but it remains evenly spread and adds a charming aged look to the appearance. No post-strike marks of any significance can be noted; however, two tiny planchet laminations do exist around the obverse dentillation. A coin with choice eye appeal for the grade. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $3000 in VF, $5100 in EF.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
