Quito, Ecuador, gold 8 escudos, 1850 GJ, NGC UNC details / stained. Seppa/Anderson-ECG98; KM-34.1. Matte UNC surfaces with muted luster (the stated staining really no more than a couple small spots), some slight weakness and graininess on Bolivar's bust, parts of rims crude, but overall a desirable example of a rare and highly sought date and type, in effect one grade higher than the benchmark PCGS AU details piece that sold for $21,600 in Stack's Bowers in 2018. NGC #6439901-001.
($4000-6000)
