COLOMBIA. 1870 10 Pesos. Popayán mint. Restrepo M332.8. AU-55 (PCGS).
Missing from Norweb, Eliasberg, Sedwick, and other name collections, this is one of the highlight rarities of the series. Frank Sedwick left it unpriced and called it RRRR, and Restrepo likewise calls the date "rare." It's difficult to imagine a nicer example at this grade. The obverse retains reflective luster at the perimeter, framing light yellow gold surfaces. A bold die crack extends from left of the first U in UNIDOS to the forehead. The reverse is fully reflective and lustrous, with attractive splashes of coppery toning. Both obverse and reverse dies match the Restrepo plate coin. An exciting opportunity for advanced collectors of this series.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
