Guatemala
Central American Republic 8 Reales 1840/37 NG-MA/BA MS65 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM4. A kaleidoscope of rainbow tone glows over both sides due to reflective underlying fields and the strike is full, save for a small area of the Ceiba tree's leaves on the reverse. While few post-strike imperfections are observed on either side, a diagonal planchet adjustment mark that sweeps across the tree's trunk is worthy of note. Very rare certified quality for the type, this is presently the only MS65 graded for the date with only three additional pieces (2 - 1824 / 1 - 1847) reaching this lofty Gem grade in the combined NGC and PCGS population reports.
