^Lot 987 COLOMBIA, Bogotá, bust ½ real, Charles IV, 1795 J•J, mintmark N•R, NGC VG 10, fine

COLOMBIA, Bogotá, bust ½ real, Charles IV, 1795 J•J, mintmark N•R, NGC VG 10, finest known in NGC census, ex-Becerra. Restrepo-77.4; KM-57; Cal-324. Attractive for the assigned grade, with nice toning in legends, bust a bit weak and with mark in field, also partially crude rims (as made), but overall quite decent and barely the better of just two in the NGC census (the other being the Toulemonde specimen sold in Sedwick Auction 34) among perhaps nine known for this very scarce date. Pedigreed to the Becerra Collection (stated on label).
