Republic gold 2 Scudos 1841 PTS-LR MS63 NGC, Potosi mint, KM106, Fr-28, Asbun-Karmy-R92. The sole-finest example of this highly elusive type, of which a mere 6 examples have been certified to date across both NGC and PCGS, and with only a couple of handfuls of survivors estimated to exist in total. This praiseworthy representative more than earns its peak-level grade, showcasing full mint brilliance that cascades brightly across the fields upon rotation, alongside a noteworthy degree of reflectivity residing in the fields. The strike is pinpoint-sharp, while a number of die cracks and minute imperfections serve as instant future pedigree identifiers of this superior piece, noted as the "highest ever graded" in the CNG and St. James's debut of the Lissner Collection in 2014-- an honor maintained to this day, over 7 years later. Ex. R. L. Lissner Collection (CNG-St. James's Auction 29, August 2014, Lot 1212); Purchased from Joe Elliot in November 1973
