COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1769/67-PN J. Popayan Mint. Charles III. NGC AU-58. KM-38.2; Onza-796; Restrepo-70.13. Showcasing an impressively bold overdate with uncommonly vivid yellow-gold surfaces that are further emboldened by bright, reflective flash that is preserved around the protected designs. Despite just missing the Mint State grade, a coin that absolutely compares favorably to finer graded examples, with central designs that remain sharp and surfaces that are free from distractions in the form of marks or planchet imperfections. Quite literally an ideal type representative as such. From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.Ex: Millennia Collection (Goldberg 5/2008) Lot # 1020.Ex: Trigo Collection.
