PHILIPPINES. 4 Quartos, 1835-MA F. Isabel II. NGC EF Details--Environmental Damage.
KM-15; Basso-46; Cal-Type 179 #713. Globes widely spaced. This VERY RARE type seldom appears on the market in any condition, let alone in higher grades. The strike is somewhat uneven with a bold central lion and well-defined crowned Spanish arms on the reverse, though a couple of small flat spots are noticed in the legends. Upon close inspection the surfaces do exhibit a slight granularity as is commonly encountered on the early copper series with the usual planchet defects that were caused from the manufacturing process. Despite its shortcomings this handsome and presentable survivor displays attractive brown patina with areas of richer coloration is sure to excite many collectors for the chance to obtain one of the most desirable types from this highly collected area.
Estimate: $3000 - $6000
