Guatemala
Central American Republic gold 1/2 Escudo 1843 NG-M MS63 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM5. A Choice Mint State and rather lustrous specimen of this rare key date. Uncirculated examples are undoubtedly very rare: only a few such pieces have been certified by either 3rd party grading service, despite this being a wildly popular series. The current example is currently the 2nd finest certified piece and as such, it represents important opportunity for the connoisseur. Heritage recently sold an MS62 PCGS specimen for $3,000 (1/2013 auction, lot 22083).From the Nob Hill Collection
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
