MEXICO. "Royal" Presentation Cob 1/2 Real, 1723-Mo J. Mexico City Mint, Assayer Jose E. de Leon (J). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Holed, AU Details.
KM-R24; Cal-203. The finest of only two certified examples of the date in this format on either the NGC or PCGS census. Nicely preserved and attractive, this lovely little presentation minor offers a pleasing appearance with well-struck devices and smooth surfaces. Close inspection reveals a tiny hole at 12 o'clock, commonly encountered for these issues, but is hardly a distraction and is somewhat obscured by the PCGS holder. Despite its shortcomings, this survivor is quite nice and is sure to excite many collectors of this series. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click
