Guatemala
Central American Republic 8 Reales 1840/37 NG-MA/BA MS64 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM4. The 1840/37 overdate and MA/BA overassayer variety. Near-Gem with full, gleaming mint luster under most attractive golden and lavender patina. Very few signs of handling on either side are apparent and the strike, far better than most observed on the type, further qualify this piece as an elite. Very rare and vastly desirable in this grade, and presently the single finest graded example of this variety sub-set at NGC.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
