Honduras (Republic)
Honduras, 50 centavos, 1910/00, NGC VG 10, very rare, ex-O'Brien.KM-51 (overdate not listed).By itself, the 602 coin mintage listed for the 1910 50 centavos is enough to consider the type rare. Yet, to take that further, Carlos Jara notes that only five examples are known to have survived today, making the present example a key date in the series and among the rarest of Honduras coins overall. This coin is moderately yet evenly circulated with some areas of strike weakness due to the design's relief, muted gray tone all over. The overdate (unlisted in KM and not recognized on the label) is easily visible, particularly around the 1. Pedigreed to the J. O'Brien collection (stated on label).
Estimate: 250-375 USD
