COLOMBIA. 20 Pesos, 1872-BOGOTA. Bogota Mint. NGC MS-64. KM-142.1; Fr-99; Restrepo-336.8. Mintage: 1,471. Amazing quality for this often-crude issue, showcasing delicate straw-gold color, an extreme absence of marks over either side and satin-smooth luster in the fields. Also impressive is the strike, which details the artistically-engraved central designs in razor-sharp clarity. An absolute anomaly of survival, not only is this coin the only Mint State graded example of the date, but its also the single finest certified 20 Pesos from the Bogota Mint! A monumental opportunity as such and sure to generate immense excitement from type collectors and series specialists alike. From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.Ex: R.L. Lissner Collection (CNG 8/2014) Lot # 1499.
