<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 4444762, member: 102103&quot;]Day 44:&nbsp; Colombia 2 Décimos, 1874, Medellín</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe this was a single-year type.&nbsp; There&#039;s no mintage data in Krause or on Numista, but based on other years of the earlier type, its probably in the tens of thousands.&nbsp; 1874 was the last year of the 2 décimos denomination.&nbsp; Medellín minted&nbsp; a silver 20 centavo coin in the same year.&nbsp; I love how instead of a mint mark, Colombia puts the mint city in giant letters on the reverse.&nbsp; Makes me want to find ones from Bogotá and Popayán.&nbsp; In spite of the lowish mintage, catalog prices are quite low (this one was $6), but high-grade examples are said to be pretty scarce.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110599[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
