Owner Comments:

From the collection of Clyde Hubbard auctioned by Daniel F Sedwick. At the time of purchase (May 2022) only one graded for the type, hence Top Pop.

Assayer G, Juan Gutierrez. Assayer G took the coins of Charles and Johana from the Early to the Late Series, this coin being of course, an Early Series example. This coin is clearly an oMo-oM/Mo (and perhaps there is more under the M, possibly an F (as assayer F was the predecessor of G). The over mint mark is not noticed by NGC.

Legends are not well represented, but the coin is rare enough that the issue is forgiven.


From the sale's catalogue: "Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer G between bottoms of pillars, motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, rare, NGC VF 25, finest and only example in NGC census. Nesmith-9 type/9; Cal-61; S-M2; KM unl (6 for type). 3.30 grams. A deeply toned example with all details visible, struck slightly off-center and purchased after Nesmith's book was published, otherwise he would have listed this coin as a separate (albeit very similar) variety to his 9. NGC #6448168-047. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label) and to the Almanzar auction of August 1972, lot 2215. Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard."
