Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer R (Latin) between bottoms of pillars, motto as LVSV [sic] in rounded panel, NGC VF 35, Nesmith Plate Coin (drawing, no photo). Nesmith-6c; Cal-115; S-M1; KM-16. 13.48 grams. Another Nesmith plate coin drawing from his book, this example was also stored in an envelope on which Nesmith added a typewritten description. The "6c" for variety may have been handwritten later, probably by Hubbard, as Nesmith mentioned this coin in a letter to Hubbard dated January 1955 ("I have incorporated your 4 r. into the book"). This gem is of low contrast but has clear, full legends and is worthy of its standing as a plate coin, especially given the fact that Nesmith had seen only nine coins in total of this denomination. NGC #6448168-014. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label), plated as a drawing on page 71 of Robert Nesmith's The Coinage of the First Mint of the Americas at Mexico City, 1536-1572 (1955). Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
($2500-3750)
