ECUADOR. Real, 1840-QUITO MV. Quito Mint. PCGS MS-63.

KM-17; Seppa/Anderson-EC33; Carr-27. The single finest certified and only Mint State example of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. A charming little silver minor in an EXTREMELY RARE state of preservation. This choice Uncirculated survivor exhibits boldly struck devices with smooth lustrous surfaces displaying rich mottled patina that complements this elite example. High grade survivors from this series are seldom encountered with examples of this type usually found in lower conditions with evidence of mishandling. A real treat for the quality conscious collector actively seeking high grade pieces to add to their numismatic holdings.
