Republic gold 8 Escudos 1842-MV AU58 NGC, KM23.2, Onza-1761. A lustrous and attractive coin, close to Mint State with very slight high-point wear and handling marks well within the confines of the assigned grade. A popular and beautiful issue always included among the most romantic modern world gold issues since lavishly described in Herman Melville's Moby Dick, very elusive and sought-after in any grade. A most satisfactory representative of this better date with only a single example currently certified higher by NGC and eminently desirable as such. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $3000 in VF, $7500 in EF.
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
