I Will Really Appreciate Your Comments In This Curious Colombian Coin

Thanks Buddy ! Is very important for people like us that don´t have much experience identifying errors that the wise guys of the forum give us their opinions .

Not uncommon to find these errors with Colombia coins (and a few other South American countries as well)

Quality control at those mints is not as good as for example, the U.S., U.K., and Canadian mints.

Closely examine enough Colombian, Venezuelan, etc. etc. and you'll find some coins with minor errors like this. I have found them with filled numbers / letters, Cuds, weak strikes / Struck Through Grease, rotated dies, etc..

Don't know what it would be worth but it's a very interesting coin to have in your collection. Enjoy! .

Harry213 wrote that clashes were common so I think you just found another clash. All clashes of that coin will appear similar with clash marks appearing in the fields.

I do not believe it was made with the same dies. The obverse die has a different date and there is no evidence suggesting that old date was scraped off or that the new date was punched on top of the old date.

There are similar die cracks on both but, the older coin has die breaks that are more advanced (worse) than the newer coin and I don't think it is possible for the die to improve with age.

Still -- nice find! If they are common like Harry213 posted, then it might be fun to put together a set of those.

Enjoy!

Indeed, the die crack is present on the reverse of the 1967, but not there in 1969, can't be the same die either. The clash mark isn't exactly in the same place either.

Still, another interesting piece with the clash being very pronounced. It seems Colombian coinage offers good possibilities for an error/variety collector!

Excellent clash's. Keep looking !

Thats a great one!!
