Bolivia 1655P E-PH 1 Real cob graded NGC VF35; Potosi Mint, KM13, Cal-754; Dot-PH-Dot below crown variety. Other than a small scape on the reverse bottom area, a very nicely detailed and preserved from the transitional types after the Potosi Mint Scandal of 1649 related to fraud involving the fineness of the silver coinage. This had worldwide implications that lasted for decades.

Dominican Republic: Santo Domingo 1544-64 F S-P 4 Maravedis. Cal-33
An incredible copper from this time period and location. The smoothest milk chocolate surfaces that I have seen on one of these types in any grade. Graded NGC AU58 with only one higher at MS62, but I could not find any photos of it to compare surface quality. Given this coin's grade and surfaces, I consider this a grand rarity. Exceptional with no corrosion or piercing. The vast majority of survivors are environmentally challenged in my opinion.
Santo Domingo mint, assayer “F” (Francisco Rodríguez)
Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and one of the Caribbean's oldest cities.
Santo Domingo Mint coins of Charles and Joanna are much rarer than those struck at the Mexico City Mint, although they are often more crude in their construction, according to Cori Sedwick Downing, who cataloged the Santo Domingo coins. She also authored an essay about the coins of Santo Domingo and compiled a census of auction appearances, both of which are included in the auction catalog.
The Santo Domingo Mint began operating about six years after the Mexico City Mint and produced silver coins from 1542 to 1552. The paucity of coins (compared to the thousands known from the Mexico City Mint over the same time period) may be due to lack of native silver and demand, according to Downing.

KM-C-2 (undertype); CAL-Type 26#68 (undertype). Stohr- R. I. 23. Issued by decree of 4 June 1823, repealed by decree of 14 March 1826. Nonsensical raised "Chinese" inscription within rectangle shaped border applied to the obverse of an 1817 Caracas Royalist 1/4 Real. The countermark is boldly applied with good definition of the fine details to a nicely preserved and attractive host. The surfaces are smooth displaying rich chocolate brown patina with areas of richer coloration. This wholly original looking survivor is very attractive for the issue and far nicer than normally encountered.
The port city of Puerto Cabello was the last remaining Spanish royalist stronghold during the Venezuelan war for independence. This city was important to the Spanish crown and was used as a hub by the Spanish navy in carrying troops, arms, stores and other needed supplies from Spain to her colonies. After several decisive battles the city was captured by Jose Antonio Paez Herrera on 8 November 1823.

This beautiful cob displays a full 4-digit date, which is quite scarce on 1/2 real cobs, given their small size. The surfaces of the cob are original with naturally worn luster underlying the dark patina. This is a 300 year old cob which has escaped being messed with, holed or damaged in any other way, including being sunken on a ship in the ocean. Rare and desirable as such.

MEXICO. Empire of Maximilian. 10 Centavos, 1864-M. NGC MS-65.
KM-386.1. Tied with two other examples for finest certified. A coin struck at the very beginning of Maximilian's great Mexican adventure, or great Mexican mis-adventure as it eventually became. In late April of 1864, Maximillian stepped down from his position as the Chief of The Naval Section in Austria, and headed for Mexico with the implicit backing of Napoleon III of France. Arriving in Veracruz in late May that same year, there never was a "Camelot" or honeymoon period, with staunch resistance from liberal forces led by President Benito Juarez encountered from the very start of his rule. It stands to reason given his date of arrival in mid-year, the coin offered here was struck at some point in the second half of 1864. Clearly a coin that was set aside almost the instant it was made, well struck and highly lustrous, and with clear evidence of die clashing adding yet another level of interest to be explored up close. A coin that rightfully belongs with the 5 Centavos in this collection. See it above this coin.
