Spanish Colony. Isabel II 20 Centavos 1866 MS66 PCGS, Manila mint, KM146, Cal-659, Basso-61. A jaw-dropping assignment across the entire Isabel II 20 Centavos series at PCGS, far exceeding the quality of the MS62 Mahal representative that brought $20,400 at our last December HKINF auction. Glittering luster is left unbridled against the hint of grey tone that washes over the flan, enlivening fields virtually devoid of imperfection that appear totally pristine in-hand. Not only the best preservation one can acquire for this date-type, but across the entire 20 Centavos denomination, with only a single finer by the assignment of a "+." Clearly destined for an advanced cabinet as such.
From the Mahal Collection of Spanish and US Philippines Coins, Part XIII
