Lot 50 Bogota, Colombia, gold cob 2 escudos, 1646 (R), rare, NGC MS 61.

Bogota, Colombia, gold cob 2 escudos, 1646 (R), rare, NGC MS 61. Restrepo-M50.23; S-B21; KM-4.1; Cal-Type 386. 6.68 grams. Nearly full cross and full shield (slightly off-center) with flat area to one side (assayer to left and mintmark to right not visible as a result), bold 164 of date and weak final digit 6, which NGC calls 0 despite die evidence to the contrary (the existence of short diagonal lines above Flanders-Tirol, for example), faintly red-toned in crevices. To be fair, the 6's in this period have very short "tails" and do look like 0's!
