Republic gold Ducat 1951 MS67 NGC, KM8, Fr-2. One of the key dates with a mintage of just 500 pieces, this is tied with one other for the finest certified example seen by either NGC or PCGS. To provide some background for the bidder, we last sold a 1951 ducat in January, 2015, where an MS66 example fetched $18,000 hammer (Heritage 3037, lot 29322). The piece on offer here is visually stunning, with absolutely flawless surfaces, with ample luster in the fields around lightly frosted devices. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $2400 in EF, $3000 in UNC.
Estimate: 20000-25000 USD
