COLOMBIA. 1814/3-JF 2 Reales. Popayán mint. Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). Restrepo 114.6. VF Detail - Scratch (PCGS).
Bust of Carlos IV. A rarity in the series, here presented in particularly nice grade. The sharpness appears to be that of an EF coin, restrained by a series of nicks and marks mostly seen in front of the king's profile and in the field beneath GRAT. The reverse is choice, and the color and detail are superb on both sides. The reverse die is somewhat rusted, visible inside and below the left pillar and beneath AN of HISPAN. Low magnification reveals the overdate. This is a bit sharper, though not as choice, as the Murias coin that brought $6,325 on a $1,000-$1,500 estimate.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
Estimate: $500.00- $1000.00
