Bogota, Colombia, 5 decimos, 1868, encapsulated NGC AU 50, finest known graded by NGC, rare first date of issue. Restrepo-293.1; KM-153.1. Lightly toned, with underlying luster, slightly weakly struck in centers as usual (which is why this AU 50 is the finest known), the denomination mislabeled in the slab as 50C (but correctly attributed in the online census). The "half dollars" of independent Colombia--a very popular series with collectors--effectively began with this date, for no prior coins of this size were struck after colonial times unless you include the unique and controversial 4 reales of 1819.
