Lot #96 - Spain - 1774/3-M PJ 1/2 escudo - NGC AU-55
Hammer: $500
World Coins-Spain
Lemonade Stand Collection. KM#415.2, Madrid mint. Almost never found truly problem-free, it's quite a feat to locate such a well-preserved 1/2-escudo that hasn't become infested with hairlines or surface damage. Light friction wears on the surface, of course, but the gleaming yellow-gold hue pleases the eye.
