A small pin scratch atop the crown on the pillar side but very well struck and some luster remaining, thus very unusual and desirable for this type. The plain date variety. In addition, this is a very rare die error, where the horizontal bar for the "A" was omitted in the FERDINAND monogram (which reads FERDIND as a result). Missing in Amat, Patterson and Haberthuer. Ex. Freeman Craig (11/1984, lot 241 for $1,000).From The Isaac Rudman Collection of Guatemala Coins Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $750 in VF, $1000 in EF.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
