CHILE. Copper 1/2 Decimo Pattern, 1868-So. Santiago Mint. PCGS SPECIMEN-66 Brown Gold Shield. KM-Pn13 (of KM-137.2). An EXTREMELY RARE copper striking of this beloved condor-themed issue. Produced in presentation quality, the designs show stunning precision from the centers to the squared-off edges, while the fields maintain exceptional mirror-like qualities. Toned throughout, a stunning blend of blue and green intermingles with shades of mauve and copper that cling to the designs. Though small in size, the visual impact of this piece is huge. As the single finest certified (of the two examples seen) between PCGS and NGC, a noteworthy opportunity for the collector of rarities to acquire a coin that is likely unmatched for the type. From the Matthew Orsini Collection.Ex: Pittman Collection (Akers 8/1999) Lot # 3461.Ex: Schulman (11/1964) Lot # 3716.
