MEXICO. Cob Real, ND (1542-55)-L M. Mexico City Mint. Carlos & Johanna. NGC MS-63.
KM-9; Nesmith-80a; Cal-73. A beautifully preserved example of the type with boldly struck central devices exhibiting lovely rich old envelope patina with a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when rotated in the light. Vastly superior than normally encountered and as such should be considered VERY RARE in this state of preservation.
