<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 613237, member: 8959&quot;]1772 was the last year the Lima mint struck the milled columnario type.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I bought this coin back in the late 90&#039;s, I was not aware that there are two varieties for the year: with a dot above one the &quot;L&quot; mintmarks, </p><p>or with a dot above both L&#039;s (on the obverse).&nbsp; Gilboy also describes this variety in his book (P. 159, L-8-25B, as R4).</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple years later, 1991 I think, Superior auctioned a major collection of these, and it contained a 1772 with dots above both L&#039;s which they described as unique. Well, here is apparently another.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was cleaned when i bought it, and has toned a little over the years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking forward to your comments,</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
