🇬🇹 1869-R Guatemala Peso – PCGS AU58
Few coins combine rarity, history, and pedigree as beautifully as the 1869-R Guatemala Peso.
This example is currently the PCGS Top Population coin, and according to the available certification records, no finer example has been certified by NGC.
Struck more than 150 years ago, during one of the most significant periods in Guatemalan history, this coin represents the finest known certified survivor of its issue.
High-grade examples of the 1869-R are rarely encountered, making this piece a remarkable opportunity to preserve a true numismatic treasure from Central America.
A coin I am proud to add to my collection.

Why the gloves?
The important thing is the coin itself, not the packaging. Although many people don't like scratched, stained, or fingerprinted capsules... it's better to be safe than sorry; I always use them for my loose or encapsulated coins.

I guess those folks won’t be buying any coins from auction then. Less competition!
