Republic gold Proof 10 Pesos 1877-So PR65 NGC, Santiago mint, KM145, Fr-45. Though the Standard Catalog of World Coins records no specific mintage for Proof examples, noting only a total mintage of regular circulation examples as 8,208, we can only assume from the lack of sales records that the type is exceedingly hard to find, and certainly produced in a significantly smaller mintage than this figure. The surfaces are minimally handled and attractive, in-line with the gem designation assigned, with only a scattering of light die polish lines visible in the fields. The first Proof emission of this type which we have encountered, the only graded example seen by NGC, and a selection of undeniable scarcity in this format.
