I've always wanted a big escudo coin to remind me of pirate treasure!!!:smile Finally got one! Grade/value opinions?? Also, does anyone know the mintage of this coin?
According to "Gold coins of the world", 8th edition - VF 1200, EF 1800. Not sure how accurate or updated it is, but probably gives an idea of coin value.
Yes, I just wanted some unbiased opinions. ANACS said XF-40 details "scratched" net VF-30. The scratch referred to is the small one by the nose, not too distracting really. I paid $1,210 for her. The hairlines actually look more like circulation lines since they are scattered, but it may very well have been cleaned at some point. I also wanted to see if anyone would question authenticity. Even in an ANACS slab, I like folks to take an extra look being that I spent 4 figures. I don't care as much about the grade or the problem status here since I really just wanted a genuine hunk of pirate treasure...
