Bogota, Colombia, 1/4 real, 1858, very rare, NGC AU details / rev rim filed, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Dana Roberts. Restrepo-176.2; KM-113. Deeply toned, with all elements of design visible but rims truncated (both as made and from filing), the rarer of two dates in this very rare type (see lot 837 above, this date in fact sometimes attributed to the Granadine Confederation), so rare that Restrepo says only two or three are known, and indeed we can trace only one other, a PCGS XF40 with second O of BOGOTA missing. NGC #4831069-010. Pedigreed to the Dana Roberts collection (Heritage auction of April 2011, lot 25428).
