Mexico City, Mexico, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer L to left, mintmark oM to right (L-oM), rare, ex-Rumbel. Nesmith-94b; Cal-136; S-M9; KM-18. 13.45 grams. NGC did not grade this example because it had been lightly plated, but despite that limiter, it is deeply struck on a full planchet with full legends and inner details. Nesmith cataloged only one coin of this variety, perhaps this very one since it originally belonged to O.K. Rumbel (a contributor to Nesmith's book) before it was purchased by Hubbard in the Henry Christensen sale of Rumbel's coins. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage. Accompanied by original tag or holder.
Estimate: $400 - $600
