Watch List notes:

Medellin, Colombia, 5 decimos, 1887, elongated head, very rare, NGC XF details / cleaned. Restrepo-402.1; KM-unl. Full details despite light surface corrosion, lightly toned, with small dip in edge that may be natural, distinctly taller Liberty head (easily recognized by a bushy curl above date) for which Restrepo says "three known" (and not listed at all in KM), this being the finest and only example in the NGC census, the others listed without variety probably the common bust (Restrepo-400). For comparison, the Nueva Granada collection example in PCGS F detail / repaired hammered at $850 in Sedwick Auction 27. Amusingly, Restrepo postulates that Medellin's multiple varieties of 5 decimos in this period were due to the fact that "The engraver was sent to jail and nobody else had a good understanding of die production procedures." NGC #6442573-021. Pedigreed to the Bernal Collection (stated on label).
