COLOMBIA, Bogotá, bust 2 reales, Charles III, 1784 J•J, no • in mintmark, rare, NGC PO 1, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Becerra. Restrepo-unl (cf 42.10); KM-47; Cal-unl (cf 748). This is one of those rare instances in which the lowest possible numeric grade is also the finest certified grade on record (at least at NGC)! Not much central detail remains due to honest wear, with dark sediment around parts of legend and date, whose final digit 4 is surprisingly clear and evidently not an overdate as listed in Restrepo and Calicó, confirmed by the similarly clean-date examples in Eldorado and Ortiz Murias. Pedigreed to the Becerra Collection (stated on label).
