Republic Coquimbo Peso 1828-TH AU50 NGC, Coquimbo mint, KM88. Third or "Fine Style" issue. Choice for the designation with limited actual wear, only mild surface handling marks and flatness of strike in the highest raised devices (for example the fumes of the volcano on the obverse) likely accounting for the assigned grade. A wholly satisfying and attractive example of one of the most, if not the most desirable crown in the entire Latin American independent series. A more detailed description of this legendary issue, including the census for confirmed examples of this "Fine" type was written for lot 32164 of our 2015 ANA Signature Sale (Heritage Auctions 9/2015). This coin appears as No.11 in that census.
Estimate: 25000-30000 USD
