ECUADOR. 4 Escudos, 1837-QUITO FP. Quito Mint. PCGS Genuine--Repaired, AU Details.
Fr-4; KM-19; Seppa/Anderson-ECG81; Carr-73. This decently preserved example boasts a strong strike with well-defined intricate devices, though a slight weakness is noticed on the reverse. The surfaces display an attractive pale golden tone and richer coloration in the protected areas and crevasses with hints of original mint luster near the edges. Close inspection reveals evidence of tasteful smoothing on the bust accounting for the details designation. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of this ever-popular type with a decent look.
