Mexico City, Mexico, gold cob 1 escudo, (1714) (J), NGC MS 66 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in NGC census. S-M30; KM-51.2; Cal-1739. 3.31 grams. Superb full shield with bold full oMJ to left and denomination I to right, only the bottom of 17 of date visible but distinctive one-year style (single finest at NGC for non-dated examples, tied with the single finest for dated as well), also very choice and full but slightly off-center cross, lustrous and lovely. (Curiously, we sold another NGC MS 66 earlier this year that is no longer in the census.) From the 1715 Fleet, with original Fisher tags (paper and plastic) and photo-certificate NCB3247MO, plus Sedwick photo-certificate.
