Republic Proof Centavo 1858 PR64 Red and Brown NGC, Heaton mint, KM-Y7. Raised 'LIBERTAD' variety. An exceptionally colorful near-gem, this brilliant piece displays a robust array ranging from cobalt and cabernet to magenta and burnt sienna. Always a popular proof issue, a similarly graded example, though lacking the charming mélange of the present specimen, realized a hammer of $2,200 in our 2017 Long Beach auction (sale 3057, lot 31703).
