CNG Lissner sale, lot 1253

This specimen was lot 1253 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $121. The catalog description[1] noted, "BOLIVIA, Republic. 1825-present. AR 10 Centavos. Potosí mint. Dated 1893 PTS CB. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 66. Nicely toned gem UNC. Highest ever graded."

This is a common date of a common type, despite the small mintage.

Recorded mintage: 50,000.

Specification: 2.3 g, 0.900 fine silver, this specimen Ø17 mm, 2.18 g, 5h axis.

Catalog reference: KM 158.3.
