Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Utrecht. Provincial silver Ducat (48 Stuiver) 1762, KM93.1, Dav-1845, MS64 NGC. A prolific type, but the present specimen is certainly among the finest survivors from it, as limited evidence of surface contact is noticed and the design has been executed to impressive fullness. Most pleasing however might be the patina, as a mixture of vivid rainbow colors swirls around the surfaces and adds to the semi-prooflike luster already exhibited within the fields. For one who collects by type, this is a lot that certainly can't be overlooked. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $125 in VF, $200 in EF, $300 in UNC.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
