Costa Rica, 50 centimos, 1903JCV, encapsulated NGC MS 62, ex-Richard
Costa Rica, 50 centimos, 1903JCV, encapsulated NGC MS 62, ex-Richard Stuart (as designated on label). KM-143. Bold strike, lustrous and very lightly toned, minimal marks, the fields less smooth than most. As noted in KM, about two thirds of the mintage for this date were struck in Philadelphia, and it stands to reason that those coins, while made from the same dies, would have smoother surfaces from better-prepared planchets, so we feel the current specimen was most likely struck in San Jose. NGC #4435023-004. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection.
