Philip V Real 1733 MX-MF/F AU Details (Surface Hairlines) NGC, Mexico City mint, KM75.1. Well detailed with little actual wear and wiping evidence mostly evident on the obverse, where two small scratches are also seen at 2 o'clock. Despite the noted defects, a wholesome, well above-average and attractive example of this rare date. The apparently very rare reverse die used to strike this piece features a MF/F overassayer variety and was not present in either the Norweb and Gerber examples of the dates. Interestingly, a recently sold example of the very rare MX-F variety (Stack's Bowers 1/2015, lot 1250) featured a different reverse die from the present piece, a clear evidence that at least two dies with the "F" assayer initial were produced for the Real denomination. As noted previously, an appealing and quite desirable example of this rare issue, eminently collectible despite the noted defects.
Estimate: 500-700 USD
