Republic gold "Diez Pesos" 10 Pesos 1857-POPAYAN MS66 NGC, Popayan mint, KM122.1. Stunning quality for this often well-circulated coin, and more likely than not the finest extant of the type, with radiant yellow-gold surfaces over both sides, a strike that faithfully renders the design elements and pebbly texture atop Liberty's bust that is so typical of this issue. An extremely interesting coin for die study purposes as well, with numerous re-cut portions of the reverse legends, the most interesting appearing to be an R beneath the D in DIEZ. As the single finest certified by NGC, sure to attract even further interest.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
