Bolivia: , Republic 8 Soles 1833 PTS-LM MS65 NGC,...

Republic 8 Soles 1833 PTS-LM MS65 NGC, Potosi mint, KM97, WR-16, Elizondo-82. Beautifully preserved and endowed with a vibrant lilac and golden iridescence that illuminates across the surfaces when titled toward light. A sound strike has left all devices attractively rendered, all the more impressive considering the type's general shallowness of detail, particularly noticeable in the cases of weaker strikes to Bolivar's hair detail and uniform. The sheer potency of luster in the fields is enough to cause any experienced collector to take pause, and the combination of these features easily brings this attractive example to the gem level, resulting in an inspiring relic to be treasured by collectors for generations to come. Ex. R.L. Lissner Collection (CNG-St. James's Auction 29, August 2014, Lot 1195); Purchased from Paramount International Coin Corporation in August 1969
