ARGENTINA. 8 Reales, 1828-RA P. La Rioja Mint. PCGS MS-64 Gold Shield.
KM-20, CJ-30. Amazing quality for this beloved sunface type, boasting impressive design clarity and rich, satiny frost in the fields that is likely unrivaled for the date. More intense inspection confirms the assigned near-Gem designation, with surfaces on the sunface side that border on pristine, while a few trivial marks appear on the coat-of-arms side. Exceptionally RARE as seen, with no others at PCGS or NGC that match or exceed this MS-64 grade.
Estimate: $3000 - $6000
