Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer A to right, mintmark M to left (M-A), NGC XF details / tooled. Nesmith-58; Cal-131; S-M6; KM-18. 12.97 grams. An early purchase by Hubbard, the accompanying envelope bearing a handwritten note (perhaps by Nesmith) that only one example had been seen by him, which is understandable given that the shipwreck which contained many coins from this assayer, the "Golden Fleece wreck," would not be discovered until almost thirty years later. The tooling is nothing more than multiple light old scratches, the coin itself lightly struck on a full flan with legends and interiors apparent. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder.

Estimate: $400 - $600
