COLOMBIA. 1784-JJ Real. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 38.13. G-6 (PCGS).
The last of the Carlos III Real issues from Colombia, the 1784 stands out as a rarity in the series. This one is worn but superbly original, with excellent dark color that becomes richest near the rims. Free of problems, well struck and well-centered, this coin is picture perfect. The Restrepo plate coin is sharper but holed. This example was graded "problem-free Fine" in the Murias sale, a more accurate assessment of its quality than that offered by PCGS.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
