Republic copper Pattern Centavo 1878 MS64 Brown NGC, KM-Pn2. Choice Uncirculated with full mint luster and much underlying red despite the assigned grade. Very rare in any grade, extremely desirable in this superb quality and the finest seen by the cataloguer. The similarly graded yet less appealing ex. Luis Flores example (Stack's Bowers and Ponterio 1/2013, lot 1589) realized $1,600 plus commission a few years ago.
