Watch List notes:

Asuncion, Paraguay, copper 1/12 real, 1845, NGC MS 63 BN. KM-1.2. 6.54 grams. Dark surfaces with deep blue toning all over, parts of rims slightly crude but otherwise exceptional quality for this issue, which is considerably rarer than Birmingham mint examples due to limited production in Asuncion following Paraguay's cutting ties with Enrique Gilbert, this specimen in fact tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census. (Also see lots 1929 and 1930 in the Express session.) NGC #2741430-014.

Estimate: $500-750
