Republic gold 10 Pesos 1858-POPAYAN MS66+★ NGC, Popayan mint, KM122.2. A miraculous survivor of the type, struck from the typical crude dies that show significant pebbling over the surfaces and recutting of the legends, but maintaining the ultimate presentation otherwise, with impressively crisp design detail and shocking brightness in the fields that results from prooflike reflectivity. No marks and only faint handling are seen upon magnified inspection, suggesting that this piece was immediately set aside for safekeeping upon striking. The single finest example of the date graded by NGC and undoubtedly conditionally unique; a true showpiece!
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
