COLOMBIA. 1886-M 5 Decimos. Medellín mint. Restrepo 304.1. AU-58 (NGC).The so-called Long Head with the No Stars reverse. Brilliant and lustrous, showing some natural granularity and planchet unevenness as struck. The lines at the lower left reverse periphery are inherent in the planchet, as are some less notable flaws elsewhere. Somewhat hairlined but very high grade for this rare type. This piece realized $3,450 in 2006.From Heritages sale of the Whittier Collection, June 2006, lot 16749.
