COLOMBIA. 1873 10 Pesos. Medellín mint. Restrepo M333.13. AU-53 (PCGS).
The final issue of this charming and distinctive Medellín 10 Pesos type. Described as "rare" in Restrepo, this issue is not mentioned by Sedwick, and no specimen appears in the Norweb, Eliasberg, or Sedwick collections. The surfaces show rich deep yellow toning, a bit darker on the reverse than obverse, and some remaining luster. The devices are all sharp and no major problems are noted. This rarity would likely improve the vast majority of advanced Colombian collections.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
