Republic gold 8 Escudos 1839 Go-PJ AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, Guanajuato mint, KM381.4, Fr-83. An attractive example of this elusive early date, featuring an excellent strike from center to edge and lovely golden color throughout. Hairlines in the fields of the hand-on-book side, although not a major deterrent to the eye-appeal, are responsible for the "details" grade.
Estimate: 1000-1300 USD
