COLOMBIA. 1784-JJ 2 Reales. Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint. Carlos III (1759-1788). Restrepo 42.13. VF Detail - Harshly Cleaned (PCGS).
A rare date in any condition, this issue would be hard to find any finer than this, even considering this coin's shortcomings. The evenly granular surfaces have been cleaned to brightness, leaving some hairlines and pinscratches. A few little chips at the rim suggest that this may have been a salvage piece. A short crack is seen from the edge through the right side of R in CAROLUS. Despite its suboptimal quality, this is a collectible specimen of a very rare issue. The Murias coin was significantly more worn than this one and netted $2070.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
