Republic gold 100 Soles 1958 MS65 NGC, Lima mint, KM231, Fr-78, Grunthal/Sellschopp-741i. Mintage: 101. The undisputed key date within the Peruvian 100 Soles series, boasting a mintage a fifth of that of the preceding year and 47 times lower than that struck in 1959. Yet what is even more astounding about the present example is its standout certification--presently ranking alongside just 2 other pieces in this peak grade at NGC with none yet seen by PCGS. Close examination reveals only the most minute of marks over the expansive fields, soft die polish lines present near to the raised elements while a glassy luster proceeds unimpeded over the specimen as it is tipped from end-to-end in hand. The finest of only 4 total examples we have had the privilege to offer our bidders, with the last (an MS64) bringing $11,750 in our August 2015 ANA sale #3041. With this date entirely missing from both the Sellschopp and Eliasberg collections, we do not doubt that the offering will afford series collectors a seldom-encountered opportunity to fill this hole in their collections with the best of the best.
