Republic gold 1/2 Escudo 1851-JB MS63 NGC, San Jose mint, KM97. A flashy little coin, weakly struck in the centers as usually seen but Choice Uncirculated with full mint brilliance and only scattered mild surface abrasions preventing a higher designation. A tad scarcer date for the type, conditionally very rare in this handsome quality. Currently the single certified Mint State example of the date at either NGC or PCGS and most desirable as such.From the Pura Vida Collection, Part II
