Watch List notes:

Mexico City, Mexico, 1/2 real, Charles-Joanna, "Late Series," assayer A to left, o to right, mintmark oMo below monogram, motto P-LV-S, flowers instead of crosses at top on both sides, very rare, NGC AU details / damaged. Nesmith-59a; Cal-49; S-M6; KM-6.5. 1.65 grams. A very rare variety, probably included in Nesmith's count of only two seen (as the accompanying envelope has Nesmith's handwriting on it), with visible legends and inner details but also a couple of areas of missing metal on the edges. It is the first we have seen with P-LV-S instead of the much more common PL-V-S. It seems that Nesmith did not note the flowers instead of crosses at the top on both sides, but we have seen this on all assayer-A coins of this denomination. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder.

Estimate: $500 - $750
