Not many exist (10-12 known) as you guys already know so if a new one is ''found'' it is pretty cool to say the least.
I have no idea about these but it looks real. You'd be mad to buy it when you can get one not worn blank, and not with a hole in it, but in a slab for $2.2k https://coins.ha.com/itm/colombia/colombia-charles-iii-pillar-real-1760-nr-jv-fine-details-cleaned-ngc-/a/3118-34401.s
I saw that on some of my old searches... I see that it was apparently sold and was not cheap, even in that condition.
One in VF35 supposedly can be avail:
Here it is another one:

Agreed but not many are ''affordable'' so for some just owning one in any grade makes the cut.
I believe this specimen to now be in Bogota museum. Not 100% sure but I remember seen an article. Same for the 1/2 real Colombia in Yonaka's book (the one with no hole).

That coin has been listed on ebay for a few years. It's wildly overpriced, obviously. There was another a little while back that sold in the $500 range that has two holes.
I'm BACK!!! Used to be Billet7 on the old forum.
If anyone has the images of this coin please share them.
I don't

I was asking since I save them for this particular coin (1760 1 Real Colombia).
Seems like it may have sold it is no longer available.
