Costa Rica, 50 centavos, lion counterstamp (Type VII, 1889) on a Bogota, Colombia, 50 centavos, 1882, PCGS Fine detail / scratch, c/m XF detail. KM-134.1 (host Restrepo-308.11). Lightly toned and with traces of luster, actually interesting for the natural flaws on the host, including a lamination error behind the head and a 3/4-circular die-crack on obverse, but also with scratches on that side and rim weakness on reverse. Pedigreed to the Eldorado collection (Stacks Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42083).
