Republic gold Restrike 150 Balboas 1947-Dated UNC, KM-Unl., Fr-Unl. 45.11gm. XRF indicated 19k gold. A seemingly contemporaneous Restrike, later than the one issued in the 1970's after further analysis of the surfaces and the condition of the dies. The raised devices, despite the notable evidence of reworking and dressed in a pervasive granular flatness--likely the result of significant die rust--show further deterioration when compared to the 1970's Restrikes. That being said, the present offering shows amply brilliant surfaces with semi-frosted motifs. Sold with PCGS tag "No Service/Refund - Gold Restrike Re-Worked Dies" and NGC tag "No Decision - Gold Off Meal Strike 1970's Modified Dies". Ex. Aureo & Calico Auction 397 (October 2022, Lot 2032) Sold as is, no returns. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
