GUATEMALA. 4 Reales, 1785-NG. Nueva Guatemala Mint; Assayer Manuel Eusebio Sanchez (M). Charles III. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, VF Details.
cf. KM-35.2; Cal-814. An EXTREMELY RARE issue from the first year of Manuel Eusebio Sanchez's term as assayer. The noted tooling is visible between the letters of "REX" on the reverse legend. There is also some evident smoothing on the obverse bust. The rest of the details are unaltered, showing the coin's impressive strike and satisfying preservation. The surfaces display nice deep gray toning that heightens the eye appeal. In spite of its shortcomings, this remains a desirable example of a date that may not be seen again at auction for a long time to come. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
