COLOMBIA. 1799-JF 8 Escudos. Popayán mint. Carlos IV (1788-1808). Restrepo M98.18. MS-62 (PCGS).
A remarkable coin, with deep reflectivity and bright luster on both sides. Even light yellow gold with surfaces free enough of distractions that a higher grade seems appropriate. The obverse die is cracked from L of CAROL into the field, but the entire obverse die is swollen and creased on a path from that crack to HI of HISP. A very interesting and especially choice specimen.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
