1916-FG/JG Peru 1 Dinero Silver Coin - Choice Mint State 64 (Rare Low-Population Variety)
Product Description
Secure a phenomenal condition-census rarity with this 1916-FG/JG Peru 1 Dinero Silver Coin, cataloged as KM-204.2. Struck at the historic Lima Mint during the early 20th century, this fractional silver issue is exceptionally difficult to locate in high mint-state grades due to active regional circulation and low surviving population figures.
Key Highlights:
-
Elusive Low-Population Tier: An extraordinary conditional rarity for Latin American silver. Certified population records show only 2 examples at the MS 64 grade tier, with a mere 3 higher-graded pieces known across major registries.
-
Choice Mint State 64 Preservation: Displays pristine, uncirculated silver surfaces with vibrant mint luster, sharp definition on the national arms and liberty bust, and captivating original patination.
-
Assayer Mark Variety: Features the distinctive FG/JG assayer initials attribution (KM-204.2), adding specialized collectible value for advanced Peruvian and South American series specialists.
-
Museum-Grade Cabinet Centerpiece: A premier acquisition for registry set builders and numismatists targeting top-pop Latin American silver coins.
The 1916-FG/JG Peru 1 Dinero is a recognized assayer overpunched variety, featuring the scarce FG/JG initials. This variety is encountered far less frequently than the standard 1916 issue and is sought after by collectors specializing in Peruvian coinage and Latin American silver.
Certified Choice Mint State 64, this example ranks among the finest survivors of the variety, offering exceptional preservation, strong original detail, and outstanding eye appeal. High-grade certified examples of the FG/JG variety are seldom available on the market, making this an excellent opportunity for collectors seeking a premium-quality example for an advanced collection or registry set.
Whether collected for its historical significance, specialized variety attribution, or superior state of preservation, this coin represents an increasingly difficult issue to acquire in certified Mint State condition.
