Argentina
Rio de la Plata gold 8 Escudos 1835 RA-P AU Details (Reverse Tooled) NGC, La Rioja mint, KM21, Chaves-760, Onza-1570 (Rare), Janson-20. A visually balanced representative of this very scarce type, of which a mere 6 examples have received straight-grade designations by NGC to date, with only a single of these attaining Mint State recognition, and this specimen is the sole Details representative. Despite obverse hairlines and light tooling marks across the reverse fields, the overall presentation remains strong owing to a definitive strike, with light amber patina decorating the legends, where traces of luster glisten alluringly upon rotation. A rare opportunity to acquire a selection of this issue, and the first example of this date that we have ever offered.
