Republic gold 20 Pesos 1871 Mo-M MS64 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM414.6. A conditionally scarce example, as well as an earlier date from this series, showing far more detail than is typically encountered for the issue, and handsomely toned golden surfaces that are brightened by touches of rose. The central images show the result of a weak strike--a common occurrence for the type--but as detail extends toward the edges, it quickly regains its sharpness. As one would expect at this level, the fields have escaped any real instances of handling, save for a faint wisp or tick, which further elevates its outstanding eye appeal.
