Carol I Leu 1870-C MS67 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM6, Schäffer/Stambuliu-5. Coin alignment. A prize among collectors, not only as an elusive type, but as the sole finest for this key and one of just a handful of this denomination to attain an MS67 assignment. Virtually pristine and awash in cascading luster that finds itself lightly tempered by a gentle pewter patination, the example bests our McFadden specimen sold in 2014, an MS65 that garnered an impressive sum of $7,050. Displaying laudable boldness and a thick satin sheen owed to a firm strike, the piece on offer is devoid of any singularly significant instance of visual detractor, and demands the attention of only the most quality-conscious collector when crossing the auction block. From the Carpathian Collection of Romanian Coins HID09801242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
