ECUADOR. 1839-MVA 8 Escudos. Quito mint. KM-23.1. AU Detail - Scratch (PCGS).
Even and lustrous light yellow gold with substantial reflectivity. A bit soft on the obverse profile, sunface mostly detailed, very attractive and nicely detailed overall. Scattered light marks are seen near the centers, subtle hairlines noticed with scrutiny, light vertical scratch between DEL and ECUADOR mostly blends in, as does an even more trivial vertical scratch in the right obverse field. Well centered on both sides, a high quality example of this popular type.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
