COLOMBIA. 1768/7-J 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M70.11. EF-40 (PCGS).
Beautiful deep rose and orange toning embraces the peripheries of both sides, framing medium yellow centers. Circulated but free of any significant problems. An obverse die flaw is seen behind the portrait, and the same reverse die flaw is noted on this coin, employing the same die used since 1762. The overdate characteristic is easily seen even without the benefit of magnification.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Stack's sale of the Eugenio Gebauer Collection, December 1986, lot 1444.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
