The Gold Escudo Type Set, Hand on Book Custom Set, 1825-1870, Circulation Issue Abuelo's Collection

Owner Comments:

This was an interesting purchase as basically, I got it at bullion's. According to Richard Long, the 1856 MoGF 2 escudos is an extremely rare coin. Both, a normal date as well as the overdate 6/5 do exist. At the time his book was published he stated that "only one dealer offering mentions the overdate, but at least two are known in collections". This coin is clearly not the one mentioned by Mr Long as that one, offered by him in July 1995 was described as BU. This is, despite the wearing, a nice finding. At the time of purchase (May 2018), NGC Top Pop (no other one graded by NGC, PCGS has listed 1@58 perhaps the one mentioned by Richard Long).
