Colombia 1973/1 20 Centavos Overdate

A coin I just picked up in my holiday travels--it's now my most modern overdate--way past the time when most mints have added the date directly to the hub.

When I saw it, I suspected a 1973/1--which was later confirmed by Krause. Obviously, during the era, the Bogota mint shows rather lax quality standards. While this is an MS coin, the portrait is pretty terrible! Either a very worn hub, die, or both. The overdate isn't worth a premium, but still a fun find.

FYI to coin photographers out there--I shot this with my 200mm (non-macro) lens--a serviceable photo for now.
