Republic gold 8 Escudos 1842 QUITO-MV AU Details (Cleaning) PCGS, Quito mint, M23.2, Onza-1761. Barely visible hairlines define the grade, yet the luster remains nearly full and the strike is impressively complete for this frequently crude type that is often encountered with significant planchet imperfections or bluntness in the strike. As such, fully deserving of attention from type collectors, with eye-appeal that remains rather high and a price that is likely to be a fraction of "problem-free" examples.
Estimate: 6000-7000 USD
