COSTA RICA. 8 Escudos, 1828-CRF. PCGS VF-35.
Fr-1; KM-17. An impressive example of the issue with light even tone and modest wear. Partial facial details remain on the sunface, with most of the texture remaining on the mountains. The leaves are well struck and nearly complete, with the usual wear to the high points on the reverse evident. Original mint luster can be detected along a slender band by the denticles, with edges that are completely free of nicks or bumps. This large gold coin is always in demand; the supply available will likely never provide every collector with an example who wants one. As such, even specimens with problems tend to draw very strong bids. The coin up for bid here is without impairment of any kind, and right on the cusp of EF. If you've waited until now to find a problem-free example, this is the coin you have been waiting for. PCGS VF-35.
Estimate: $4000.00- $6000.00
