Guatemala
Republic gold 16 Pesos 1869-R MS62 NGC, KM188, Fr-39. Tied for highest graded by either NGC or PCGS, an unusual denomination from a mintage of just 3,465 pieces. This type is popular in any grade for its large size and scarcity, and is unlikely to be represented elsewhere by more appealing a specimen. This piece boasts abundant prooflike reflectivity to the fields and crisp striking detail, scattered contact marks in accordance with its grade but in all other respects nearly choice.
