Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo), motto as PLVS in right-leaning rhomboid panel with double annulets on either side, rare, NGC XF details / environmental damage. Nesmith-26 for type; Cal-123; S-M4; KM-17. Rainbow-toned with traces of surface pitting as from salvage or land find (Hubbard's envelope notes say "from a Florida hoard"), somewhat odd-shaped with small pieces of metal missing on opposite sides of the coin (from corrosion) but most of legends legible and interiors complete. This is a later issue from this assayer with HISPANIARVM in the pillars legend and the use of lozenges between words, not in Nesmith so apparently purchased after the book had been published. NGC #6448168-038. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
