Mexico
Philip V 4 Reales 1733 MX/XM-MF MS63 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM94. An exceptionally wondrous and breathtakingly choice example of this rare one-year issue with the MX mintmark, which can clearly be seen as punched over an XM on each side of the date. The toning, enchanting and impressive, features a palette consisting of hints of goldenrod and rosé, along with sublime, old time steel gray. It is difficult to imagine encountering a finer specimen of this type, and indeed, it is the finest graded by NGC. The Rudman and Norweb piece, an MS62 also certified by NGC, realized a hammer of $24,000 in our 2016 ANA auction (sale 3048, lot 31081). Clearly, the present example exceeds the later in majesty and elegance, and is worthy of intense focus and consideration from collectors of the finest which Latin American coinage has to offer.
