Republic gold Escudo 1856 PTS-FJ, KM114, MS63 NGC. The best one could imagine for the type. An absolutely full strike leaves the design boldly impressed, the fields glimmering with prooflike reflectivity, and the dentils rising boldly from the fields. Delicately preserved surfaces with no mentionable marks confirm premium quality and, for the specialist, should signal an opportunity. The single finest graded example of the date at NGC.

Republic gold 1/2 Escudo 1845 PTS-R, KM104, old style bust type, MS66 NGC. Essentially unimprovable for the type with dazzling thick luster on both sides. The boldly imparted strike fully illustrates the designer's intended design. This is the finest graded example at NGC and a certain candidate for the finest known representative of the type.

Carlos IV gold 2 Escudos 1790/89 PTS-PR, KM66, Fr-8, XF Details (Planchet Flaw) NGC. A two-year transitional issue with the bust of Carlos III, but with the ordinal of his son and new king, Carlos IV at the legends. This type is very scarce in any grade. It is a clear overdate issue, with two of the loops of the former 8 beneath the 9 in the date. A large flan crack (as made) begins at 7:00 on the obverse, but has limited effect on overall eye-appeal. Realized $2,350.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
