There is one other 1607 of this province graded at NGC, as MS61, and none at PCGS in any condition. This coin is almost perfectly centered, the strike is strong all around, and most importantly to me, the face and helmet detail is fine, and the sword is sharp. This is my favorite Dutch ducat so far.
1607 was the year Jamestown was founded in present-day Virginia, the first English permanent settlement in North America. Not 20 years later, the Dutch would found New Amsterdam, which would become New York City.
NGC has graded one West Friesland 1607 ducat at AU50, one Holland 1607 ducat at AU55, and one of Gelderland from 1607 at MS61, AU58, 55, 53, and 50. NGC has graded a lot of Utrecht 1607 ducats, the finest at MS60.
PCGS has graded one 1607 ducat of Gelderland at AU50.
PCGS has graded one Utrecht 1607 ducat at AU55, and I have seen a few VF to XF raw examples on Ebay or MA-Shops.
