Republic gold 4 Pesos 1866-R, KM187, Fr-43. AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC. 561 pieces minted. Types as described previously. Faintest handling marks but little actual wear and lustrous. More attractive overall than the Eliasberg (ANR 4/2005, lot 3050 for $4,000) coin and comparable to the Haberthuer (SBC 1/1996, lot 2719) piece. The nice Caballero de las Yndias specimen looked Mint State and realized a hefty figure (Aureo 4/2009, lot 306 for €6,000). By far the rarest date of this type: when Freeman Craig sold this same specimen over thirty years ago, he described it as "RRRR date – even the remote possibility that its unique". It remains very rare with only eight specimens confirmed by the cataloger. Ex. Freeman Craig (3/1981, lot 488 for $5,775).From The Isaac Rudman Collection of Guatemala Coins Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $2750 in VF, $4500 in EF.
Estimate: 2500-3500 USD
