COLOMBIA. 1782-JJ 8 Escudos. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo M72.24. UNC Detail - Filed Rims (PCGS).
Frosty, lustrous, bright, and unworn, this is a very high grade coin that had a light file applied to a rim bruise on the obverse above G of DG. Very faint evidence of filing is also seen on the outer extremity of some denticles near 9:00 on the obverse. The right obverse field is swollen near the portrait's throat, and heavy raised lapping or die finish lines are noted near the date and CAROL. Very attractive despite its minor flaws.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
