Watch List notes:

Costa Rica, 1/2 real, "lion" countermark (Type VI, 1849-57) on a Costa Rica (Central American Republic) 1/2 real 1831F, NGC VF 35, c/s AU standard. KM-67. 1.53 grams. Choice countermark with consequent cupping of host, areas of gold toning with bright spots of red and green, crude rims (as made). The F assayer on this host was apparently a modified E, and for whatever reason the F specimens are more elusive than the E's with this countermark. NGC #4703624-001.
