Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Alfonso XIII Peso 1895-PGV, KM24, MS64 NGC. Conditionally rare at this near-Gem grade and fully original with radiant luster beneath flares of antique gold, red and blue patina. The reverse is particularly magnificent as the palette of color fully paints the surfaces in a manner that enchants the beholder. One of only three graded at the MS64 level by NGC with a single example finer; that specimen, graded MS65, was sold for $30,550 in our January 2013 auction. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $550 in VF, $950 in EF, $2500 in UNC, $4500 in BU.
Estimate: 5000-7000 USD
