Guerrero. Cacahuatepec Revolutionary Peso 1917 Go-LV AU58 NGC, KM651, GB-150. A very rare one-year revolutionary type based on the long-running Cap & Rays series, this selection surpasses even the Millenia collection coin which brought $14,500 in 2008. When located, examples of the issue are regularly found mishandled or otherwise impaired, rendering a near-Mint example such as this, displaying clear fields and a uniform steel gray tone, exceptionally desirable. The only "fault" of the piece is arguably its localized striking weakness, though this appears to be the case with every specimen that we have been able to locate, and should therefore be considered the norm - a characteristic trait that reflects the type's history in a volatile period of politics (and mint production!). The single-finest example seen by NGC, and a true prize for the discriminating advanced collector of the Mexican Revolutionary series.
