GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, 1 peso, 1888, NGC MS 62, with WINGS gold sticker, ex-Ulloa. KM-207. Splashy rainbow toning over strong, nearly prooflike luster with fully detailed strike, very rare grade for this type, tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 64, a perfect "trophy coin" for the Latin American crown collector or Guatemala specialist. Very few full-size crowns were struck locally due to the economic situation of the 1880s, and in fact only a few thousand pieces were made of all the types in 1888-1893. Pedigreed to the Roberto Ulloa collection (stated on label), reportedly linked to the collections of Alex Safie and William Robert Higgins, Jr (Jess Peters 1973-74).
