Bogota, Colombia, 8 reales, 1820JF, Cundinamarca, NGC AU 58.Restrepo-157.1; KM-C6.Lustrous and choice, with full details and smooth fields, just some slight central weakness perceived as light wear, still a rare grade (second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 62), with minor lamination flaw on face, attractive light toning. (Note: NGC's census lists several coins as "1820 JF CUNDINAMARCA CROWNED HEAD RIGHT" in error, perhaps confused with the colonial issues showing king's head facing right, as the Cundinamarca issues like the present coin clearly show an Indian head facing left.)Pedigreed to the Esmeralda Collection (stated on special label).
($4000-6000)
