ECUADOR. 1852/0-GJ 8 Escudos. Quito mint. KM-34.1. AU-55 (PCGS).
Rich even yellow gold with superb luster, a bit reflective around the obverse periphery, entirely satiny around the reverse. While there is no "common date" of this type, the 1852/0 is represented in more collections than the dates from 1847 to 1850. This one is of far above average quality, with a superb strike, no heavy marks, good centering, and a problem-free planchet. It is both sharper and finer than the Eliasberg AU-58 (NGC) and has been off the market for 45 years.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
