Proof Pattern Bolivar 10 Centavos in Silver
Rarely, if Ever Seen on the Market

Republic silver Proof Essai 10 Centavos 1873 PR61 NGC, Paris mint, KM-E12. Reeded edge. A dazzling little jewel that has an overall pleasing appearance throughout, despite being graded at a level that often suggests major eye-appeal issues. As is typical of coins that have seen long-time cabinet placement, the patina on each side carries its own unique character; on the obverse, the tone is largely graphite-like, while rich multicolored hues adorn the reverse. Underlying field reflectivity remains evident on both sides and only minor ticks, primarily in the field to the left of Bolivar's bust, limit the grade. An extreme rarity in the Venezuelan series, and the first offering of its kind that we have been able to locate.
