COSTA RICA. Costa Rica - Colombia. 50 Centavos, ND (1889). PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details; Countermark: AU Details.
KM-135.2. Counterstamped on a Colombia 1885 Medellin 5 Decimos. Though lightly cleaned, this interesting piece presents outstanding detail on both the countermark and the host coin. The Colombian host coin displays lovely devices surrounded by fields that retain traces of luster, while the tiny countermark is sharply-struck and offers brilliantly lustrous fields. The whole coin is toned to an attractive mottled gray, making this an overall highly presentable example. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
