COLOMBIA. 1862 20 Pesos. Bogotá mint. Restrepo M336.1. MS-62 (PCGS).
Spectacular luster spins over choice light yellow gold surfaces. Just a glorious piece, as bright and fresh as if it were new. A few wispy hairlines are seen on the obverse, including two on the cheek, but no other significant flaws are noted. A speck of harmless glue clings to the top of BO in BOGOTA. An imposing and impressive piece that must rank among the finest extant.
From the Eldorado Collection of Colombian and Ecuadorian Coins.
From Stack's sale of the Alfred R. Globus Collection of Gold Coins of the World, October 1972, lot 839.
Estimate: $4000.00- $7000.00
