CHILE. 4 Reales, 1805-So FJ. Santiago Mint. Charles IV. PCGS Genuine--Cleaned, AU Details.
KM-60; Cal-869. Reported mintage: 9,000. The finest certified of the date of only three on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, two are details designated (NGC EF Details and PCGS AU Details[present coin]) and PCGS VF-35. Boldly struck with well-formed design features, this handsome example is far nicer than normally encountered for this type. The rich mottled patina offers a pleasing appearance with hints of luster remaining in the protected areas. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning long since tone over indicative of prolonged storage, while the fields to the right of the bust exhibit tasteful smoothing and light scratches are noticed in the area under the arms of Spain, all matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of this highly desirable type that is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
