Mexico City mint, KM94. When sold as part of the now legendary Ortiz sale (SBC 9/1991, lot 158 for CHF 22,000 plus fees), the present example was simply described as “Uncirculated. With superb toning over full deep original lustre”. That description remains indeed accurate more than 25 years later! The finest example of this legendary rarity certified at NGC and the finest known to us. Very rare in any grade, immensely desirable in this incredible preservation and destined to become one of the landmarks in the owner’s collection. The MS62 NGC ex. Norweb-Rudman example realized $24,000 plus fees in 2015.
Ex. Emilio Ortiz collection.
