Ecuador 1840 MV Quito 1 Real
PCGS MS63 - https://www.pcgs.com/cert/43081128
KM-17; Seppa/Anderson-EC33; Carr-27. The single finest certified and only Mint State example of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. A charming little silver minor in an EXTREMELY RARE state of preservation. This coin exhibits boldly struck devices with smooth lustrous surfaces displaying rich mottled patina that complements this elite example. High grade survivors from this series are seldom encountered with examples of this type usually found in lower conditions with evidence of mishandling. The highest graded at NGC is a sole AU58 with a handful or well-circulated pieces as well. PCGS has also graded one AU50 and two VF35's.
A supreme treat!
