Naples & Sicily. Ferdinando IV gold 6 Ducati 1766-DG-CCR MS66
NGC, Naples mint, KM167, Fr-846. A magnificent example,
flaunting strong cartwheel luster and velveteen smooth surfaces,
coated in a bright aurous tone. Exceptional also through only a
limited presence of adjustments marks, a phenomenon so-oft plaguing
the 6-Ducati denomination and preventing the full design to shine
through in other Gem-level pieces. With only two other MS66's
graded at NGC, a true conditional rarity well-worthy of a premium
bid.
