Mexico City, Mexico, gold cob 2 escudos, (1714) J, NGC MS 66 (1715 Fleet label), finest known in NGC census. S-M30; KM-53.2; Cal-1887; Tauler-275. 6.80 grams. While a visible date would be more desirable (can only be 1714 by style), the extreme high grade of this piece sets it apart, with the crispest and fullest shield and cross imaginable, also with bold full oMJ and crown, highly lustrous all over, the lone MS 66 among the (currently) 30 entries for this date and type at NGC. From the 1715 Fleet.
Estimate: $5000 - $7500
