Republic Gourde 1882-(a) MS65+ NGC, Paris mint, KM46, Elizondo-2, Arroyo-122. Positioned at the very cusp of finest-certified status, with only a single "MS66" taking the lead in NGC's census. Regardless, it is nearly self-evident that such quality remains superlative for the date, and more broadly, for the series as a whole. The lover of frosty originality will find a clear target in this offering as a nearly ideal representative of its type, displaying a vibrant cartwheel effect alongside fine frost that decorates the raised motifs. Truly, the only grade-limiting feature appears in the form of inconsequential ticks of contact along Liberty's neckline, leaving this prized offering as a clear contender for even the most elite cabinet of Haitian coinage.
