Medellin, Colombia, 1/2 decimo, 1868, encapsulated NGC MS 61, ex-Dana Roberts. Quite a remarkable coin in that it is both in original Mint State (among the finest known, with a full luster that is atypical for the issue) and yet unevenly struck, with weakness on rims and some interior areas on both sides. Elusive three-year Medellin type with small mintage of 88,000. Pedigreed to the Dana Roberts collection.
Estimate: $500 - 750
