COLOMBIA. 1853 10 Pesos. Bogotá mint. Restrepo M207.1. AU-58 (PCGS).
A lovely example of this first 10 Pesos issue, called RRRR by Frank Sedwick. Medium yellow gold with a good deal of remaining luster on both sides. Free of any flaws of consequence, with just a single little rim bruise above SO of PESO on the reverse. The final digit in the date is punched over something. Daniel Sedwick suggested a 53/49 overdate in the 2011 catalog of the Frank Sedwick Collection. PCGS suggested a 3 over inverted 6. A 3 over an inverted 3 might make more sense, but study is inconclusive. This is nicer than Sedwick's specimen (NGC AU-53) and Norweb's ("various bumps and marks, fine") and ranks among the finest known of the issue.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
