Lot 939 COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1805 JF, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census.
COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1805 JF, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census. Restrepo-unl (85 for type); KM-56.2; Cal-1166; Fr-59. Brightly lustrous, the obverse slightly off-center with minor rim-flaw as a result, still astounding quality for a Colombian bust 1 escudo, the finest at NGC by four grades. (Note: Restrepo only lists the 5/4 overdate for this assayer, which seems to be a simple omission error and not any indicator of relative rarity.).
