Costa Rica 9.10.1935 P-166 PMG Choice Very Fine 35 1 Colon
Series B. Just 100,000 were printed, all with the same date. Of these, 96,122 were redeemed. A scarce type to find, serial numbers 100,001 to 3,000 were later overprinted and issued by the Banco Nacional de Costa Rica, which is the type you will typically see with this design. To find the original in problem-free circulated condition, as seen here, is very unusual, as the auction records indicate, with the last issued examples selling at public auction way back in 2013 and 2014 according to publicly available auction data. Important opportunity for the Costa Rica specialist.
