Central American Republic gold 2 Escudos 1835 CR-F MS63 NGC, San Jose mint, KM 15. Choice Uncirculated with full mint bloom, lovely orangish toning and razor sharp details. A few haphazard and very light scuffing marks likely prevent an even higher technical designation, yet a most impressive and aesthetically pleasant coin. Currently the second finest certified of the date by NGC behind an MS64 coin, yet an example with better eye-appeal would be hard to imagine. Undoubtedly one of the very finest extant for this scarce and highly popular type, extremely rare and desirable in this superb quality.Ex-Lissner (CNG 8/2014, lot 1538 for $10,000) and Hammel (Stack's 9/1982, lot 796) collections.From the Pura Vida Collection, Part I
