Republic gold Specimen Pattern Escudo 1887-F.E. SP61 PCGS, La Paz mint, KM-Pn47. An extremely rare pattern issue glistening with lemon-gold color and particularly prominent flashes of luster on the reverse. A smattering of light handling marks is to be noted for the sake of completeness, though they have very little bearing on the overall eye appeal. A similar specimen from the Norweb Collection realized a hammer of $6,800 in March 1997 (Spink America, Sale #8588, Lot 80), and we expect the present offering to inspire similar competition amongst our bidders.
