Medellin, Colombia, 5 pesos, 1913, encapsulated NGC MS-64. Sedwick-51. Restrepo-453. KM-195.1. "Stonecutter" (minero). Lustrous and pretty but typically low relief, finest known specimen graded by NGC. According to Restrepo, the 1913's were actually struck in 1914. Sedwick says on page 59: "The design of the minero…tended to wear badly, with the result that it is not easy to find a 5-pesos minero (or 2-1/2 pesos minero) in better condition than VF. Fully struck, choice Uncirculated minero specimens, especially if they have retained their edges, should bring a premium." This specimen is clearly one of the premium coins he was referring to.
