Pair of Two Certified Republic Gold Coins 1926-(P), Philadelphia mint, KM244 and KM245. Both coins certified by NGC as follows: 5 Quetzales MS65 and 10 Quetzales MS64.An altogether superb pair of gold coins with matching apricot-tinged surfaces and isolated instances of copper tone. Despite both issues asserting relatively low mintages--the 5 Quetzales at 48,000 and the 10 Quetzales at 18,000--these coins are seemingly common in lower grades. At levels that approach choice Mint State, however, these are increasingly scarce. Presently the 5 Quetzales has the honor of being the finest-known certified example for the type, while the 10 Quetzales is currently tied with only two other specimens for the top spot. An altogether spectacular couplet, worthy of the most discriminating collection.Ex. Stack's Hammel Collection of Foreign Gold Coins, September 1982, Lot 852 (10 Quetzales only, ticket included).
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
