Republic gold 20 Pesos 1875/4 Ho-R XF40 NGC, Hermosillo mint, KM414.5, Fr-125. A rather charming survivor despite moderate circulation, with eye-catching reddish-copper toning highlights around the eagle and cactus motif and few singularly identifiable marks on either side. While not identified as such on the NGC insert, clearly an overdate (the Norweb specimen, offered by us in August 2014 was struck from different dies and was not an evident overdate), with ghosting of a 4 observed beneath the 5. One of perhaps 10 known examples for the date, and considering the elusiveness of all four 20 pesos dates produced at the Hermosillo Mint, a coin that is sure to attract significant type collector attention.
