Hi

I have an 1826 Colombian gold coin. The denomination is 4 escudos. Does anyone know anything about this coin? I'd like to have it valued and possibly sent to auction, but I don't know much about it. I'd appreciate any help, advice or information anyone might have.

Thanks!
Barbara

Hello, Barbara, and welcome!

Looks like you have a nice piece, provided that it is genuine. 4 escudos was minted one year only, and while I don't see mintage figures in the catalog, it must be pretty low since they give nice premium over the bullion value.

I'd say your best bet is to send it to a grading company to authenticate it and give it a grade (the value could differ by $ thousands for different conditions), and then, if it is indeed a genuine $4, sell it through a more reputable auction than ebay.

Before you spend any money on a grading company you could weigh it (should be 13.5365 grams), and you could post a picture here or bring the piece to a local coin dealer. With these high value items there's always a good chance they are fake.
