Bern. Canton gold Duplone 1819 MS65 Deep Prooflike NGC, KM163, Fr-187, HMZ-2229a. In a phrase, eye candy. From a short-lived type, this specimen elevates its classic design to a tier of uncontested beauty. The mellow gold flan still reverberates with a bold strike, the devices raised and expertly hewn. Deep mirrors laden with die polish engulf the specimen, appearing as though it could have been rendered by modern minting processes. This remains the finest example out of the five pieces certified across NGC and PCGS, a conditionally superior offering. Ex.
