Honduras, bronze 1 centavo, 1910, 5c obverse die and 1/2c reverse die, encapsulated NGC MS 64 BN, ex-Dana Roberts. KM-66 (KM-48 obverse, KM-45 reverse). Another testament to the troubles at the Tegucigalpa mint, which created this coin from dies meant for two other, different denominations (5c obverse, 1/2c reverse), the modification to denomination and date on the reverse quite obvious here, this specimen rather choice in strike (despite a rim-cud on reverse and corresponding weakness on other side) and preservation, with much original color and luster and no wear or marks at all, in fact tied with two others for second finest in the current NGC census behind a single MS 65. Pedigreed to the Dana Roberts collection.
Estimate: $350 - $500
