BOLIVIA. 4 Reales, 1773-PTS JR. Potosi Mint. Charles III. PCGS Genuine--Chopmark, VF Details.
KM-54; Cal-930; CJ-64.1.2. Spelling error variety; King's name as “CAROLU”. The only certified example of the spelling error on either the NGC or PCGS census. This moderately worn example displays lovely dove gray patina with areas of richer coloration on the obverse, while the reverse exhibits mottled light gray and slate patination. A couple of small unobtrusive chop marks are noticed accounting for the details designation, but are hardly distracting. Despite its shortcomings this pleasant survivor offers good eye appeal and is very interesting. A presentable example for variety collectors seeking unusual and seldom encountered pieces to add depth to their numismatic holdings. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
