Republic 5 Centesimos 1854/40 MS62 Brown NGC, KM1. An absolutely superb representative of this typically low grade type, replete with a bright, stippled appearance to the milk chocolaty fields and a sharpness to the strike that is virtually never encountered. The earliest 5 Centesimos produced for the nation, the piece offers an inviting contrast between refinement and the problems to be expected with striking a new type--while the surfaces exhibit fully Mint State quality, a break around the last two digits of the date, as well as some flan flaws in the reverse and a die cud around 3 o'clock all point to a roughness in the technique of manufacture. Nevertheless a delightful sampling of such an early emission that is poised to rally fierce bidding.
