Description
France. 1725-O Ecu. Riom Mint. Breen-388, Gadoury-320. MS-61 (PCGS).
A very rare issue of this type, familiar for its predominance among the treasure of Le Chameau. Choice brilliant light silver gray surfaces display abundant luster and hints of golden toning around the legend, richest at the right side of the obverse. Called "FDC et exceptionnel" by Maison Palombo in 2006, this ranks with the very finest examples of the date or type. There is a small number of high grade 1725-O ecus around, but this is prettier than most. A few minor adjustment marks are visible near the date and below the bust. A premium example for those who wish to include this Chameau type in finer grade than an actual salvage piece would allow.
PCGS# 466504.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from Maison Palombo's sale of May 2006, lot 294; Anthony Terranova Collection; John Agre and Dave Wnuck (Coin Rarities Online), via Mike Wierzba, January 2008.
