ECUADOR. 8 Escudos, 1852/0-QUITO GJ. Quito Mint. PCGS AU-55.
Fr-8; KM-34.1; Onza-1772 ("rara"). Overdate variety. Some areas of striking weakness are observed, but also entirely consistent for this issue oft-encountered somewhat soft. Nevertheless, very little handling is noted, with some charming brilliance emanating from the fields and some golden-cherry toning noted highlighting the devices. For completeness, despite its designation, careful study of the edge reveals that some edge work has been done, likely the result of being removed from a mount.
