COLOMBIA. 20 Pesos, 1869/8-POPAYAN. Popayan Mint. NGC EF-45.
Fr-100; KM-142.3. "Overdate" variety. Despite numerous contact marks and slight abrasions, this large issue remains decidedly wholesome and is quite RARE in such an elevated, problem-free state of preservation. The holder notes a 9/8, though it appears instead that the entire date, along with the stars and legend, are repunched--with an "A" appearing faintly below the last star to the far right.
Ex: Dr. Frank Sedwick Collection.
Estimate: $1500 - $2500
