Republic gold "Single Shaft" Pond 1892 AU58 NGC, KM10.2, Hern-Z45, Single shaft variety. Absolutely rare in this quality with extremely desirable, golden surfaces that darken into amber tone surrounding the peripheries. Previous examples of this type in similar preservation have sold for upwards of $17,000. A wonderful representative of the single-shaft variety with virtually no blemishes outside of typically encountered contact marks. Without a reported mintage, this first-year in the series is utterly scarce, especially in this near mint-state designation. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $1400 in VF, $3500 in EF, $7900 in UNC.
Estimate: 12000-15000 USD
