Republic gold 8 Escudos 1854 C-CE MS61 NGC, KM383.2, Onza-1828. A lustrous example, very attractive for the grade with considerable mint bloom and the present handling marks well within the confines of the designation. A scarcer date, rated as such by Long, and quite elusive in this engaging preservation. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $800 in VF, $950 in EF, $1550 in UNC.
Estimate: 2000-2500 USD
