COLOMBIA, Republica de Nueva Granada. 1830-1859. AV 2 Peso (17mm, 3.19 g, 6h). Popayán mint. Dated 1859 P. KM 127; Friedberg 92. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 63. Very flashy prooflike surfaces with just a hint of orange peel toning. Exceptional strike. Just a tiny planchet flaw between the neck and the number 9 in the date. Only two of these have ever been graded, One in XF 45 and this one in MS 63, that should tell you about its rarity and quality.
