Bogota, Colombia, bust 1 real, Charles III, 1775JJ, very rare. Restrepo-38.5; KM-46.1; CT-1626. 2.90 grams. Very deeply toned and boldly struck XF+ with minor surface oxidation, die-crack from crown to left pillar, an exceptionally well-preserved example of an issue that Restrepo simply calls "Rare" (a term he does not use lightly). Clearly the finest extant of the date by a large margin, and, more importantly, likely the finest extant of the entire Nuevo Reino Charles III bust 1R type. The examples in both the Ortiz Murias and the (recently sold) Eldorado collection were both Fine and holed.
