Central American Republic gold 8 Escudos 1833 CR-F UNC Details (Cleaned) NGC, San Jose mint, KM17. Arguably the most popular Central American Republic issue, the largest denomination struck and scarcely encountered in UNC. Its 'details' certification is defined through some light cleaning to the planchet, slightly affecting the appearance of the surface yet not disguising its gentle mint luster nor the sharpness of striking detail. Wear is usually exhibited first on the sun's face on this type - yet the portrait here is immensely bold and eye-catching, clearly still as-struck. In every regard an outlier for the type, a superb representative of high conditional scarcity.
