Republic gold 20 Quetzales 1926 MS61 NGC, KM246, Fr-48. A fully-bold selection, down to the individual feathers atop the body of the Quetzal bird, with handsome honey-colored surfaces and fields that contain a number of handling marks which are not uncommon to the type, but do prevent the Choice designation. An altogether pleasing example of this popular issue, well-collected at all levels. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $1000 in EF, $1500 in UNC, $2500 in BU.
Estimate: 1800-2200 USD
