Central American Republic gold Escudo 1833 CR-F VF Details (Excessive Surface Hairlines) NGC, San Jose mint, KM14. A very rare assayer for this date with approximately 5 known examples, most having been mishandled in one way or another. The present example, cleaned at one time, actually remains rather presentable, with clear details and no overly bothersome marks. Heavy die rust is seen on both sides and explains the short-lived usage of this die, and thus the rarity of this issue.Ex. Goldberg's (1/2006 - Lot 2156 at $7,500 [misidentified as a CR-E issue in the catalog])From the Pura Vida Collection, Part II
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
