NGC – AU-55 – (EXTREMELY RARE)? For those of you that missed the first coin we had for sale like this. Here is a second opportunity to have this rare coin. It´s the second coin that we´ve had of the 4 coins known in AU-55. This coin having much more Luster then the other one and in are opinion a much nicer coin. We have never seen an AU coin with so much luster. This is the sister coin of the. Spain Segovia 1723 – 8 Escudos. A two year type. ONLY 6 COINS KNOWN IN ALL GRADES & ONLY 2 COINS GRADED HIGHER MS-62 & AU-58+. THIS COIN IS 1 1/2 GRADE LOWER THEN THE NGC AU-58+. HERE YOU HAVE A GREAT SPECIMEN FOR MUCH LESS. THE OTHER COIN ALSO STATES ITS THE FINEST KNOWN, BUT IT IS´NT. THE FINEST KNOWN IS A MS-62. THIS IS A GREAT PRICE FOR ARE COIN AND. THE SEGOVIA “ROYALS” ARE WELL KNOWN FOR THERE EXCELENCE, WITH A SUPIRIOR STRIKE & MORE DETAIL THEN THE SPANISH COLONIAL “ROYALS”. The Segovia 8 escudos of Philip V represent the pinnacle of quality in the shield/cross type from Spanish mints, often called “onzas de cruz, ” with finely engraved intricate details struck by press on a perfectly smooth flan marked with an (edge-milling collar). They just do not compare with anything prior or contemporaneous except maybe Mexican “Royals” (Galanos) that sell in six figures. C onservatively graded in our opinion despite a few tiny marks and a small natural rim-flaw at 2 o’clock on the reverse. Rich gold color, perfectl y centered and evenly struck, with ample luster and great eye-appeal. “REAL INGENIO” of SEGOVIA – Was the most Sophisticated Minting machine with roller dies in the world. C rown Jewel of all Spanish Numismatics, from 1586 – 1869. At a time when the coins of Spain and its colonies were extremely poor quality, the Segovian pieces were so attractive because of roller dies technology. They are considered by most of Spanish collectors as the most beautiful coins ever minted in Spain. You have to take into account that we are talking about some coetaneous pieces to the cobs, a century and a half before they began to mint the pillar dollars. All coins coming from roller dies are a bit warped… And if you somehow find a totally plane one, it’s probably a counterfeit. Numista Rarity index: 100 /100. KM# 326, Cal# 152, Fr# 246.
