Costa Rica
Republic 1/8 Peso 1855-JB MS61 NGC, San Jose mint, KM102. Highly lustrous for the issue with a touch of strike flatness on the highest points but attractive surface quality for the designation. Currently the only certified example of this better date at NGC, and extremely rare and desirable at the Mint state level: the type was in fact entirely absent from the Whittier sale, reflecting the difficulty in locating a higher quality representative. Likely the finest extant of this date, and one of only two Mint State examples in the current NGC census thus vastly desirable for the Costa Rican specialist.From the Pura Vida Collection, Part II
Estimate: 1200-1500 USD
