Chile
Republic Peso 1828 COQUIMBO-TH AU Details (Scratches) NGC, Coquimbo mint, KM88. Once mounted, with two repaired holes on the edge at 3 and 9 o'clock that have been since been plugged. The edge design has also been smoothed, and the mount appears to have been applied to attach a pin to the reverse, with faint scratches now bisecting the fields. A few bubbles on the reverse are presumably the result of heat treatment, while a flaw in the in the right obverse field likely occurred during mount removal. Cleaned at one time, the surfaces have retoned at the edges, imparting an overall pleasing look. A very famous type despite its flaws, with broad desirability that should be enhanced by its status as the cover plate coin for Carlos Jara's work, Chile's Coquimbo Mint: A Documented History. Perhaps the most affordable example of this rarity extant.
