COSTA RICA. 1/4 Peso, 1850-JB. San Jose Mint. NGC MS-63. KM-103. Entirely vibrant with subtle prooflike qualities in the fields and minimal tone over either side. A few scattered marks become visible upon close inspection, but none are of significant detriment to the appearance. Patterns aside, this may be the finest detailed example of this highly coveted, frequently poorly struck type, with unsurpassed clarity seen within the ceiba tree; undoubtedly elite as a result. From the Matthew Orsini Collection.Ex: Richard Stuart Collection.
