Republic gold 2 Escudos 1859 Mo-FH AU50 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM380.7, Fr-87. Choice Extremely Fine and very attractive for the designation, with engaging color and high quality surfaces. A very rare date with only a handful of confirmed specimens. An MS62 NGC example of this date - obviously unknown to Long, who only recorded three examples graded VF, XF and AU (this coin?) - hammered for $7,000 in Ponterio's 1/2011 auction (lot 140). That and the present coin are the only two specimens graded by NGC. A rare opportunity to acquire an attractive example of this rarity.From The FoxLair Collection
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
