COLOMBIA. Escudo, 1836/4-POPAYAN RU. Popayan Mint. NGC VF-30.
Fr-72; KM-81.2; Sedwick-3; Restrepo-162.34. An underlying "4" is clearly visible with the naked eye. Quite an esoteric overdate, the present coin is only the second we can recall offering in recent years. It is also listed as RARE in Restrepo when made with this alignment format. Rich, bright honey color, even wear, and a bold strike all contribute to exceptional eye appeal for the grade. A perfect mid-range piece that specialists will desire intently.
Estimate: $200 - $300
