NGC Expert Comments:
Rudman coleccion is the top-ranked competitor in World Sets with 3,858 coins, and his Santo Domingo colonial coinage collection is stunning. Rudman needed 12 copies of the set to house his multiple specimens of various coins. The collection contains well-struck museum-quality examples of often crude hammered coinage from the 1500s. While corrosion, environmental damage, and altered surfaces are typical for coins from this period, remarkably the vast majority of Rudman coleccion’s coins are problem-free with numerical grades. That this collection was assembled in one lifetime is unbelievable! Perhaps, Rudman was a member of Ponce de Leon’s expedition and has been collecting these coins firsthand for centuries.
