8 Real (Verkauft für $2350.0)
1831,
COSTA RICA. 8 Reales, 1831-CRF. NGC EF Details--Repaired.
KM-22. Very scarce one year type coin. A well struck example, showing some typical weakness in the tree. Some light areas of encrustation. Cleaned at one time, presumably as an attempt to remove further deposits. Some light evidence of old ink staining on the reverse. A small punch mark or test punch is noted between the words "CRESCA" and "FECUNDO" on the reverse, similar to that found on the 1841-1842 Costa Rican Carillo cut and countermarked coinage. The 1841-1842 Carillo cut and countermarked coinage all bear a small punch or test mark strategically placed within the legends. It is possible, however theoretical, that the punch mark on this coin is the result of part of that process. It is possible that before a cut segment and countermark was applied to this coin, it was realized that the host was a proper Costa Rican coin and in effect, improper to regulate ones own federal coinage with. Although the NGC holder notes repaired, one struggles to see any real issue other than simple cleaning. RARE and very interesting.
