VENEZUELA. 5 Bolivares, 1886. Caracas Mint. NGC AU-58.
KM-Y-24.1. Variety with no accent over "BOLIVAR". Sharply struck and minimally marked, this top tier survivor also possesses excellent luster that brightens the surfaces on both sides. RARE this nice, and perhaps unique in finer grades, with only one piece graded at the Mint State tier between NGC and PCGS; that piece, the Lissner specimen, was certified MS-63 by NGC and brought $16,000 hammer when it was sold in 2014. As the finest offering since the Lissner coin sold, this offering should undoubtedly excite the specialist that has been waiting for another choice example of this elusive date to come to market.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
