Bust of Carlos IV. A pleasing example of this scarce overassayer variety. Even light gray with good eye appeal despite minor hairlines on both sides. A little spot of darker corrosion is noted between HI of HISPAN, and a natural flaw from a piece of detritus on the die is seen at the base of the date. The F over J characteristic is easily seen under low magnification. The Murias coin was fully Uncirculated and finest known; it sold for $2,587.50.
