ECUADOR. 8 Escudos, 1850-QUITO GJ. Quito Mint. NGC EF-40. Fr-8; KM-34.1. One of the more elusive and difficult dates in the entire series, this alluring example remains wholesome despite seeing some obvious time in circulation. The wear is even throughout, and the surfaces stand as problem-free and entirely original. Compare to a technically finer piece--a PCGS AU Details--that realized $21,600 in our January 2018 NYINC sale (lot 11375).
