Description

Republic gold 150 Balboas 1947-Dated (c. 1970s) MS67 NGC, KM-Unl., Fr-Unl. An enigmatic off-metal strike only witnessed at auction two other times in recent memory, both examples being MS64 and with similar appearances. The raised devices, despite the notable evidence of reworking and dressed in a pervasive granular flatness, likely the result of significant die rust, remain handsomely preserved and hosted upon fully aurous, watery fields. Three small privy marks have been prominently struck beside the portrait of Balboa and are likely hints of the true origins of this rarity. The sole finest certified of this seldom-seen type and a true curiosity.
