Description

COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1787-P SF (8/8). Popayan Mint. Charles III. PCGS AU-55.
Fr-36; KM-50.2A; cf. Cal-2056 (overdate not listed); Restrepo-73.38. A charming example of the interesting "double 8" variety, showing a wildly repunched 8 in the date that is easily visible to the naked eye. Medium yellow-gold in hue, with an abundance of orange and coppery toning upon both sides. The luster is bold and is particularly reflective upon the reverse. Only trivial evidence of handling is visible, allowing this to stand as a lovely example of the date or variety.
From the S.P. Rutherford Collection. Ex: Eldorado Collection (Stack's Bowers - 1/2018) Lot # 11214. Ex: Eugenio Gebauer Collection (12/1986) Lot # 1466. Ex: Hans Schulman, 5/1969.

Estimate: $2000.00- $3000.00
