Colombia
Republic 8 Reales 1835 BA-RS MS64 PCGS, Bogota mint, KM89, Elizondo-21. Sharply struck and distinguishable against its fellow survivors by both its high caliber of technical preservation and a near-Specimen-quality strike that renders exceedingly crisp definition, particularly noticeable in the outer regions of the designs. A balanced steel patina yields to deeper accents gripping the devices alongside touches of sky-blue iridescence. A marvelous selection, tied for the finest certified at PCGS to date, with no others seen above the "63" level by NGC.
