Estados Unidos gold 10 Pesos 1876/5-MEDELLIN MS66+ NGC, Medellin mint, KM141.4. Visually unbelievable, with eye-appeal that exceeds even the lofty grade that has been assigned by NGC. Significant pebbly texture adorns the entirety of the obverse surfaces, creating not only an enchanting sparkle, but also aides their essentially pristine appearance, with the hint of reddish-orange patina at the edges adding a further element of character. On the reverse, a more satiny luster presides, with a stunningly crisp coat of arms for the issue and again, only trivial evidence of past handling. Far outclassing any other example of this type we have ever encountered, with a similar story unfolding inside NGC's census, where the closest graded example is a MS63. Thusly, a coin that is impossible not to herald a "trophy coin", with Latin American specialist sure to line up for the opportunity to acquire an incomparable Gem.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
