Honduras
Estado de Honduras - Provisional 2 Reales 1851-G Very Fine, KM19c. The KM valuation is based on the sale of a VF example in the Whittier sale by Heritage 8 years ago. That piece had a clear date easily discernible despite the surface being lightly porous; the $2000 hammer price likely was influenced by the mention that only three are confirmed. That population report likely does not include the only Dana Robert's example, his lot 26001, as it was a mint error and not provable. Most of the other collections which would have wished to have an example of the date had the common 4 Reales instead, or perhaps the very scarce 1 Real, but not this denomination. This piece has some obvious handling but it is fully detailed with a bold clear date. This may be a fourth example or perhaps one of the confirmed three earlier reported.
Estimate: 1000-1500 USD
