PORTUGAL. 2 Escudos (1/2 Peca), 1776. Lisbon Mint. Jose I. PCGS Genuine--EF Details, Excessively Clipped & Re-Edged.
Fr-102; KM-246.2; Gomes-50.05. Weight: 6.86 gms. The surfaces exhibit smoothing and tooling, and the edges have been filed, which accounts for the slightly reduced weight and the PCGS designation. The coin may also have been holed and plugged. Despite this loss of originality, the work was performed relatively skillfully, and the coin retains quite a bit of eye appeal as a result. The devices and legends, including the date, remain fairly sharp. An appealing example of this SCARCE date despite its drawbacks.
Estimate: $600 - $900
