Republic gold Escudo 1834-GJ MS64 NGC, Quito mint, KM15, Fr-2. Guillermo Jameson as assayer. The single highest graded example of this rare type, the next highest being a single MS62 piece at PCGS. Highly lustrous, this offering shows no evidence of circulation and details fully worthy of its near-gem status; minor striking weakness is noted to Liberty's portrait and an adjustment mark is present in the reverse design (although this actually adds texture to the otherwise rather barren center). A superb representative for the most discerning collector of the Southern American numismatic series.
