Vietnam
State of South Vietnam. Republic Double Reverse Trial Dong 1964 MS64 NGC, Heaton mint, KM-Unl., Gad-Unl., Sweeny-Unl., Daniel-Unl. A surprisingly rare and apparently entirely unpublished Trial piece struck from two reverse dies, largely absent from the auction record aside from a single other specimen we offered in December 2018 (Heritage Auction #3068, Lot 30454). Blessed with a lustrous strike and no singularly distracting marks, it is notable that Daniel records that regular type 1964 Dong as very hard to locate in high grades without corrosion spots. Currently one of only two examples at NGC (the other an MS65), and a true rarity of the South Vietnamese series.
