COSTA RICA. Brass 50 Centavos Pattern, 18XX (1873). San Jose Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-63.
KM-unlisted. The only certified example of the type on the PCGS population report. This beautifully preserved example boasts crisp design features with semi-reflective surfaces displaying lovely brassy patina with a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when rotated in the light. A diagonal line of richer coloration is noticed on the obverse caused by a planchet streak, frequently encountered on these issues, mentioned for accuracy. The surfaces are free of carbon spots or major signs of handling, and by comparison the present example is superior to most other examples encountered.
