URUGUAY. 20 Centesimos, 1843/0. Montevideo Mint. Republic. PCGS MS-63 Brown Gold Shield.
KM-2.2; Antunez-3.4.1. Thin planchet/coin alignment. Showcasing consistent mahogany brown patina, this Choice example is tied with one other for second finest at PCGS. The surfaces, bumpy with a satin texture, produce shimmering luster. There is some planchet activity near the top of the obverse, a standard occurrence for the crudely made issue. Sure to attract much attention while crossing the auction block.
From the Cerro Catedral Collection.
Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
