Mexico City, Mexico, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer S to right, mintmark oM to left (oM-S), extremely rare, NGC AU 58, finest known in NGC census. Nesmith-77; Cal-95; S-M8; KM-12. 6.82 grams. From the rarest of all Late Series assayers per Nesmith (correctly so) who knew of only one example, although more have come to light since his time (including one other at NGC in AU 53), this one low in contrast with high points lightly struck but with virtually full details, an important piece for the serious collector. NGC #6448147-008. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
