This specimen was lot 2067 in Classical Numismatic Group's auction of the Richard Lissner collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $1,815. The catalog description[1] noted, "PERU, Republic. 1821-present. AV 1/2 Escudo. Lima mint. Dated 1828 JM. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 64. Choice brilliant uncirculated with full luster. Only two of this date have been graded and this is 10 grades higher than the other. Purchased from Spink & Sons, August 1972." This type was struck at Cuzco in 1826 and at Lima 1826-56. It is much scarcer than the prices in the SCWC would indicate.
