Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, 2 reales, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer S to right, mintmark oM to left (oM-S), rare, NGC AU 53. Nesmith-77 type; Cal-95; S-M8; KM-12. 6.79 grams. Tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single AU 58, this denomination/assayer combination was only seen once by Nesmith. While more have come to light in the intervening years, it is an important coin for the serious collector, a bit more obtainable than M-S or S-M, with virtually full legends (struck slightly off-center) and full interiors. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder.

Estimate: $1000 - $2000
