 1767-A. No RF counterstamp. Breen 700. Choice Brilliant Proof. 177.8 gns. An astonishing coin of near incredible quality. The cataloguer has neither seen nor heard of any other finer than this. Absolutely remarkable rich golden brown with iridescent rose and pale blue toning. The surfaces are brightly reflective, particularly given the piece's age. Both sides very sharply struck and perfectly centered, with a full border of denticles around on each side. There are essentially no marks or signs of damage requiring specific mention on the piece save for a patch of light verdigris above M + to the left of the date on the obverse.
Ex New Netherlands Coin Company, date unrecorded.
