Bolivia
Republic gold 2 Scudos 1841 PTS-LR MS62 NGC, Potosi mint, KM106. A one-year issue of this Bolivar-busted type, and very rare in any grade, with almost certainly no more than 10 pieces extant in all grades. This example, certainly among the finer survivors, shows a nearly complete strike, with the most important portions of the design remaining crisp. Attractive gleam, blended with moderate grade-defining handling, is observed in the fields. Perhaps more attractive overall than the Richard Lissner coin due to the absence of major planchet flaws; that piece, the finest graded by NGC at MS63, hammered for $9,000 in a 2014 auction. A certain prize coin for the specialist.
