Republic gold 8 Escudos 1819 So-FD MS65 NGC, Santiago mint, KM84, Fr-33, Onza-1609. A sensational Gem survivor of this much beloved type, not only for its technical state of preservation, but also for the absence of striking issues that are seen on most survivors of this type. On the technical side, the strike is crisp for the issue and bright mint bloom is retained over both sides, with the only handling of notable significance appearing below the right crossed flags in the reverse design. Perhaps more impressive, however, is the state of the flan this example was placed on, which shows no major planchet voids, adjustment marks, or lamination issues that, despite being as-made characteristics, often reside on other examples as a distraction from the altogether enchanting design. As the single finest graded example of the entire type at NGC or PCGS, sure to attract even more attention from the type collector of elite Latin American gold.
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
