A unique 1755 Colombian milled eight escudos coin is expected to exceed $60,000 at Stack’s Bowers’ January 12 auction in New York. The machine-milled coin, which features a bust of King Ferdinand VI of Spain, received significant coverage in the press when it was discovered in 2004. Before a milled four escudos example was found some years earlier, it was thought that the first milled coins in Colombia appeared in 1756. - See more at: http://www.ahametals.com/1755-colombian-milled-escudos/#stha...
