COLOMBIA. 20 Pesos, 1870-POPAYAN. Popayan Mint. NGC MS-61.
Fr-100; KM-142.3. Restrepo-M336.6. A crudely manufactured yet fascinating issue that shows significant die rust and texture in the fields as well as significant recutting of the dies, which includes all of the letters of 'LIBERTAD' on Liberty's headband. Close inspection helps to confirm the quality with no friction appearing over the design highpoints. Certainly a RARE coin in this alluring Mint State quality.
Estimate: $3500 - $4000
