[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3909262, member: 8959"]...that would be great, but....there are only 35 or so Nuevo Reino 8R Columnarios around. This extremely scarce coin, scarcer still than their Santiago counterparts was only minted in 4 years: 1759, 1760/59, 1762 and 1770. Nuevo Reino Columnarios from 1770 were unknown until around 2006 when 14 examples, all dated 1770 and all in mint condition were found during building work for a parking lot at the site of an old church and convent in Bogota. In addition, "two examples dated 1762 are known, and two 1760-dated pieces are recorded, with rumors of a third. Specimens dated 1759 are only slightly more numerous than those of 1770".[/QUOTE]
