ECUADOR. 1854-GJ 8 Escudos. Quito mint. KM-34.1. VF Detail - Scratch (PCGS).
It is a rare collection indeed that has date duplicates of this design type. Pleasing medium yellow gold with an extraordinary amount of surviving luster for a VF. A bit soft at centers, caused as much by strike as wear, and showing good surface quality and eye appeal. This piece shows no heavy scratches, but a horizontal abrasion or wipe has left a series of more severe than usual hairlines crossing left to right just below the central obverse. No other significant defects are seen, and this remains a very collectible example of this elusive issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
