Republic gold 20 Pesos 1869-MEDELLIN MS64 NGC, Medellin mint, KM142.2. The finest graded example of this always-crude issue by several points, with granular surfaces that are common to the type, but flashy luster and a bold strike that are not. Several marks in the left obverse field are observed, but compared to the typical barrage of marks that these issues are known to come with, the surfaces are actually rather clean. Magnified inspection shows what appears to be a double overdate, with an 8 and perhaps a 3 or 7 beneath the 9. Once part of the famous Norweb collection and as such, a coin that deserves to head back into a collection of uncommon refinement.
