Republic gold 20 Quetzales 1926 MS63+ NGC, Philadelphia mint, KM246, Fr-48. The single finest graded specimen seen by NGC (with 24 pieces at the regular MS63 level), and only 9 pieces total at either the MS63+ or MS64 level seen by PCGS, means that this piece is in very elite company. Indeed, between the two grading services, a total of 1,091 pieces have been graded, suggesting that this example is in the top 1% of all graded examples. It is a fitting designation, with highly lustrous fields and minimal contact marks giving it great eye appeal as well its technical merits.
