Of all the coins on the sale, this one was the one I really wanted to get. Nicely toned, and the obverse has golden tones that really make the eagle look very pretty. It is in great condition and while I will not descend to argue it was undergraded, I believe deserved a better number IMO. Full Libertad and all details very well preserved. At the time of purchase (February 2019) this is the only one in the NGC census, so another Top Pop.

From the sale's catalogue: "MEXICO. Real, 1829-Go MJ. Guanajuato Mint. NGC AU-50.
KM-372.6. Large Eagle variety. Nicely struck with some luster and a hint of iridescence in the toning.
Provenance: Ex: Richard Ponterio Collection".

Silver minors from the Republic period are actually very rare. This one is not an exception. AT the time of purchase (February 2019) NGC has graded 4 coins, 1@45, 1@62, 1@63, and 1@64. Full libertad can be read. Good details. Medal turn.

Item Description: REAL 1838/7GO PJ
Grade: NGC MS 63
Research: View Coin
Owner Comments
This coin has lots of lustre and it is in great uncirculated condition. This is remarkable given that minors circulated heavily. At the time of purchase, NGC has graded 2@58, 2@61, 1@62, 2@63, 3@64, and 1@66.

From the sale's catalogue: "MEXICO. Real, 1838/7-Go PJ. Guanajuato Mint. NGC MS-63.
KM-372.6. Well-struck with brilliant surfaces. The bold overdate should boost the desirability even further.
Provenance: Ex: Richard Ponterio Collection".

Very nice 2 reales with all the details present. Old scratch on the eagle's right wing. At the time of purchase (February 2019) NGC has only graded this coin, hence Top Pop.

From the sale's catalogue: "MEXICO. 2 Reales, 1847-Go PM. Guanajuato Mint. NGC AU-55.
KM-374.8. Well struck and subtly lustrous with mottled brown tone and flashy underlying silvery surfaces.

This is a relatively rare issue. Worn but with no distractions, and the details very clear. At the time of purchase (September 2019) NGC has graded 2 coins, this one and one at 55. PCGS has graded none.

I fell in love with this coin on first sight. Firstly, it is a very rare issue. Secondly, it is really scarce. At this time it is listed on Krause as "Rare" and unpriced as such. The details are all there. Very pretty. At the time of purchase (February 2019) NGC has this one at 30 and 1 at 50.

From the sale's catalogue: "MEXICO. 4 Reales, 1842-Go PJ. Guanajuato Mint. NGC VF-30. KM-375.4. Problem free for the grade with mottled olive to gray toning. A highly coveted issue from the "PJ" assayer, listed in the Standard Catalog of World Coins simply as RARE. Provenance: Ex: Richard Ponterio Collection".
