Republic gold 8 Escudos 1839 Do-RM MS63 NGC, Durango mint, KM383.3, Long-pg 366. A type found with relative frequency but drops significantly in Mint State designations. While the initial appearances bode that of a well-worn piece, this could not be further from the truth upon further inspection, struck from heavily worked dies laden with die polish coupled with prominent striking weakness, and endures in a wholly enviable state of preservation.
