COLOMBIA. 1775-JJ Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 38.5. F Detail - Holed (PCGS).
A highly collectible example of this rarity in the series, just a little sharper than the holed Murias coin that brought $1,380. Pleasing light silver gray with gold toning and an old square hole at top. Well centered and evenly struck. Restrepo calls this date "rare," while the Murias cataloger suggested it was "rarer than indicated" there. Calicó ranks this as the rarest date of the short Carlos III series from this mint.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $300.00- $600.00
