Out of my league here but this looks like a re-punched date. I found info online about the ‘69s but not 67s.
What do you think? And is it worth the cost of grading and/or even recognized by PCGS?
Thanks!

Very common on this coin in this era. The catalogs probably have not even tried to record these.
Edited to add: No, not worth the cost of grading.

Oh well.
Thanks for the info @pruebas
I always wondered why Colombia minted those. Back in the early 70's my family went to Colombia as a Christmas present. Being the avid collector I actively tried finding coins. I couldn't even get coins at the banks in Bogota. The only place I was able to find any coins was from the candy vendors with carts on the street. When I was there a Peso was worth a whole 4 cents.
Interesting story and place and time as well. I can imagine what that scene looked like, the candy man, the inspiring young collector, in that setting, and in the 70's. Those days however cherished are gone forever.
Maybe not. I was in India on the mid-1990s and I bought old coins (granted, mostly aluminum Paise) from the street carts in Mumbai. I don't even remember what the carts were selling, but their side business must have been old coins.
I guess depending on where you are that is possible.
