Lot 952
Bolivia - Republic. 8 Soles, 1848 PTS-FM (Potosi). WR-20; Eliz-100; KM-109. 26.82 grams. Two recumbent alpacas beneath palm tree; stars above. Reverse: Bare head of Simon Bolivar left; name in neck truncation. A remarkably fine, full strike - perhaps even a specimen strike, although rear die shows evidence of slight rust. Lovely, near pristine surfaces with obverse fields more satiny, and the reverse more reflective. Fine old artistic toning, strongly warm hued, coppery in the recesses, with touches of blue elsewhere. NGC graded MS-64.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,250.
