Popayan, Colombia, 1/4 decimo, 1879, rare, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census, ex-Dana Roberts. Restrepo-248.35; KM-143.2a. Choice details for this mint and with unusually bright luster alternating with reddish toning, not listed as rare in Restrepo (and unexplained as to why KM makes this a separate type from the pre-1868 issues) but the Dana Roberts cataloger said "declared by Dana Roberts to be the 'confirmation' coin of a new RRR date" and pointed out that Whittier's NGC XF 40 example (probably the same XF 45 now listed in the census) sold for $1035. The present coin hammered at $1600 in 2011. NGC #3312996-001. Pedigreed to the Dana Roberts collection (Heritage auction of April 2011, lot 23676).
