COLOMBIA. 1852 16 Pesos. Bogotá mint. Restrepo M213.5. AU-55 (PCGS).
When acquired from Hans Schulman in 1969, this coin was described as "the rare type with weight in grams. No records in any sales." It remains very rare today. Frank Sedwick's coin, graded AU-58 (NGC), brought $5,750 in 2011. Eliasberg's was a nice EF, and Morris Geiger's was graded VF+. In AU-55, this can be counted as a significant rarity. Warm medium yellow gold with a good deal of luster, some scattered marks and hairlines, and a vertical hairline scratch below the nose.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
