Republic gold Peso 1876 Ho-F AU58 NGC, Hermosillo mint, KM410.4. Three-year type. An extremely rare gold peso of Hermosillo, with very few known survivors, this being the finest of two examples graded by NGC to date. The other example, sold by us in 2015, brought over $5,000 as an AU55. Interestingly, this peso, which retains reflective gleam in the fields, shows die cracks that are much less severe than the example we previously sold. That fact considered, it's reasonable to believe this die damage contributed to its great rarity today, the die likely having been retired and no second die made. For the specialist, an important offering thus.
