Bogota (Cundinamarca), Colombia, 1/2 real, 1814 J.F, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, very rare, NGC XF 40 ("top pop"), ex-Whittier. Restrepo-132.1; KM-D3. Steely gray toning with underlying luster, the head slightly weak but reverse details bold, including clearly re-punched R to right of pomegranate, a popular single-year type (the only LIBERTAD AMERICANA 1/2 real), tied with one other for finest in NGC census but admittedly inferior to Eldorado's MS61 (PCGS), however with an interesting potential pedigree to the Ulex Collection (1908) and Baldwin's "basement collection," thence purchased by Freeman Craig Sr. before reaching Oen Nelson (Whittier). Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label) and to the Whittier Collection (Heritage auction of June 2006, lot 16604).
