GUATEMALA. 4 Reales, 1811-NG M. Nueva Guatemala Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS MS-62.
KM-68; Cal-1045. The only Mint State certified example of the date on either the PCGS or NGC population reports. This beautifully preserved example, far nicer than normally encountered, boasts bold well-defined design elements thats complemented by lovely rich mottled gray patina. A plethora of iridescent hues pops out when tilted in the light adding to its pleasing appearance and originality. The surfaces are relatively smooth with only trivial marks or abrasions that one would associate with the designated grade, long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. This date does appear on the market from time to time, but is mostly found in heavily circulated conditions with examples in About Uncirculated being a very unusual occurrence. For the quality conscious collector this should be considered VERY RARE in this state of preservation. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
