BOLIVIA. Mint Error -- Stuck 35% Off-Center -- 50 Centavos (1/2 Boliviano), 1898-PTS CB. Potosi Mint. PCGS MS-63.
KM-161.5. This beautifully preserved and highly attractive error displays lustrous surfaces that are toned a medium gray color with lovely rainbow iridescent patina that pops out when rotated in the light. The portions of the design that were struck on the planchet are fully defined and crisp with far more luster than the grade would suggest adding to its pleasing appearance and originality. There are a few marks and abrasion on the surfaces of the raw planchet likely responsible the somewhat conservative grade, but are hardly a distraction from its eye catching beauty.
