TERMS AND CONDITIONS By participating in this auction, you, hereafter referred to as the “Bidder,” are entering into a binding contract with Sedwick & Associates, LLC, hereafter referred to as the “Auctioneer,” and agree to the following Terms and Conditions: 1.. Each lot will be sold to the highest Bidder unless the reserve or starting price is not met. Bids may be submitted in person or by mail, telephone, fax, email, or live on the Internet until each lot is closed during the live session. All nonlive bids must be received before the auction session begins. The Auctioneer or any of its employees individually cannot be responsible for errors in bidding or the loss or delay of any bids that do not reach us by the closing date and time, or for any technical glitches that prevent Internet bids from being executed. All Bidders must be registered before their bids will be entered. New Bidders must register 72 hours prior to the auction so that references can be verified, otherwise their bids may not be accepted. All bids are in U.S. dollars. THE SALE HOSTED AT AUCTION.SEDWICKCOINS.COM IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION AND SHOULD BE CONSULTED BEFORE BIDDING FOR ANY POTENTIAL CHANGES, CORRECTIONS, OR UPDATES. 2. Winning bids will be reduced automatically by the auction platform to the next increment above the second highest bid. In the case of tie bids, the earliest Bidder will win the lot. Bidders are advised to provide allowable percentage increases to avoid losing lots due to a tie. 3. A winning bid is a contract between the winning Bidder, hereafter referred to as the “Buyer,” and the Consignor. The Buyer, whether bidding for himself or herself or acting as an agent or representative for another person or entity, agrees to purchase the lot or lots won and to pay the Buyer’s Premium and any shipping costs, sales tax, bank wire fees, customs duties, tariffs, or other fees or surcharges involved in delivering the lot or lots to the Buyer. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Auctioneer, a Bidder acting as an agent or representative remains responsible for all obligations arising from the bid. Certain lots, particularly artifacts, may require special packaging and handling, for which a surcharge will be levied. Shipping calculations may delay invoicing. In some special cases, delivery may be arranged directly between the Consignor and the Buyer, at the Buyer’s cost. At no time shall the Buyer have any legal recourse against the Consignor for any reason. Buyers will be notified as soon as possible after the auction with an invoice reflecting the total amount due and shall remit payment within 15 days of the invoice date. Buyers who do not receive notification for whatever reason are NOT released from their obligation to pay on time. Sedwick & Associates, LLC may send invoices, statements, payment reminders, or other notices using the contact information supplied by the Buyer. If payment has not been received within these terms, the Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot or lots to any under bidders for their lower bid amounts. If a Buyer selected or provided a credit card as a method of payment at registration, or otherwise provided a credit card in connection with the auction, Sedwick & Associates, LLC reserves the right to charge that credit card for the total amount due if payment has not been received within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date. If a new client has neither paid the invoice nor responded to the Auctioneer’s invoices, notices, or attempts to contact the Buyer within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date, Sedwick & Associates, LLC reserves the right to cancel the sale and successful bid or bids, without releasing the Buyer from any other obligations or remedies available to the Auctioneer under these Terms. Title to each lot does not pass until the item has been paid in full. Any late payments, defined as 30 days past the invoice date, will be assessed an accrued interest charge of 5% per month. 4. Lot pickup will be available after the auction, not during the auction. Any lots not picked up in person, unless other arrangements are made, will be sent to the Buyer when the invoice has been paid in full. All domestic shipments will carry full insurance, but foreign shipments are made at the Buyer’s risk, with insurance available in some cases such as shipping internationally via FEDEX. Sedwick & Associates, LLC is responsible for loss or damage to lots only up until they are received at the address to which they are sent. Any transshipment from that address is the Buyer’s responsibility alone. For all international shipments, the Buyer is solely responsible for any customs duties, import duties, tariffs, taxes, brokerage charges, clearance charges, handling fees, or other governmental or destination charges imposed upon or in connection with the shipment or importation of the lot or lots. Such charges are not included in the purchase price or shipping charges unless expressly stated otherwise by Sedwick & Associates, LLC. Any special instructions for shipping, delivery, or payment must be in writing by letter, fax, email, or text and will be effective only upon confirmation by us. Verbal requests may not be honored. Generally, lots will be shipped in the order in which they are paid. 5. Due to applicable customs, import, security, shipping, or regulatory requirements, Sedwick & Associates, LLC reserves the right to decline shipment to certain countries or destinations at its sole discretion. In such cases, the Buyer may be required to provide a valid U.S. delivery address or, alternatively, the lot or lots may be held by Sedwick & Associates, LLC until arrangements can be made for secure pickup or delivery within the United States. Any such restriction may be imposed when the Auctioneer determines that international shipment presents security concerns, customs complications, legal or regulatory issues, carrier limitations, or other risks affecting safe delivery. Due to UK regulations regarding VAT collection on international purchases, we are no longer able to ship orders under £135 to the United Kingdom. 6. A Buyer’s Premium of 22% will be added to the winning bid for the total purchase price before any applicable taxes, fees, or surcharges. Any payments by credit or debit card will incur a 3% surcharge on the total. Payments by PayPal will include a 4% surcharge. A reacquisition charge, possibly different from the Buyer’s Premium, may be applied to lots won by consignors of those lots under reserves via separate agreement. 7. Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, echeck, money order, wire transfer, direct deposit, PayPal, Zelle, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Bidders should indicate their desired method of payment when registering for the auction. All payments by check or money order should be made payable to Sedwick & Associates, LLC. Payments per auction and per Buyer are limited to the following amounts: PayPal and Zelle, to auction@sedwickcoins.com, $2,500; credit card, $10,000; checks, $100,000. Amounts beyond this must be paid via wire transfer. All payments shall be in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. bank. Please contact us for instructions for wire transfer payments, for which bank charges may necessarily be added to the amount to be paid, generally depending on the country from which the wire originates. Overseas or international wires are not allowed for amounts below $1,000. 8. New Bidders who do not have established credit with us must supply commercial references in the numismatic field and/or a 25% deposit. Credit cards are acceptable in lieu of a deposit. If your bids are unsuccessful, your deposit will be refunded. If you are a winning Bidder, your deposit will be applied to your purchase unless other arrangements are made. Bids may not be accepted from any Bidder who has a past due balance with Sedwick & Associates, LLC. New clients who fail to make payment or respond to invoices, notices, or other attempts at communication within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date may have their successful bids and purchases canceled and may be disqualified from participation in future auctions. 9. Bids prior to the auction may be submitted by mail, fax, email, or in person, or by bidding online directly at auction.sedwickcoins.com. During the live auction, bids may be executed only in person, online directly at auction.sedwickcoins.com, or by phone by prior appointment. All bids, regardless of the method by which they are submitted or received, must ultimately be entered through auction.sedwickcoins.com to participate in the auction. Sedwick & Associates, LLC and its employees may accept and execute absentee, telephone, proxy, and other authorized bids as agent or representative for Bidders. Such bidding services are offered as a convenience, and the Auctioneer does not guarantee the successful execution of any bid or assume responsibility for errors, omissions, line conditions, technical difficulties, or inability to reach a Bidder. Phone bidding is offered only as a courtesy, and we do not guarantee any line condition or accessibility during or before the auction. You must remain available to receive our call when the lots you wish to bid on come up. Proxy bidders prior to live bidding have the option of preemptive bidding, in which our system will place a full maximum bid amount during live
2
bidding when the asking price is a single increment under the maximum bid. This means the system may skip the intermediate increment and move directly to the maximum bid during live bidding. Preemptively bidding at your maximum protects you by using your full maximum to prompt one increment higher from your competition. Example: Your secret maximum is $500 with $25 increments, starting at $425, and someone has bid against you at $450. Normally your bid would be increased to $475, but with preemptive bidding the system will place your maximum amount of $500 so that your maximum will not be tied by the next bid. This preemptive bidding occurs only when the asking price is a single increment below your maximum. As always, a higher bid amount can still outbid you. 10. Most lots are unreserved, but some lots do have a reserve or minimum bid assigned by the Consignor. Some lots offered in the auction may include material owned in whole or in part by Sedwick & Associates, LLC, its affiliates, principals, officers, employees, or related parties, and any such party may have a direct or indirect financial interest in a lot. Sedwick & Associates, LLC and such parties may bid for their own accounts. Some lots may also have a reserve or minimum bid assigned by the Consignor and/or may be subject to direct bidding or reacquisition by the Consignor pursuant to prior agreement with the Auctioneer, for which notice is hereby given in accordance with 2026 Florida Statutes subsection 672.328(4). All estimates are given in U.S. dollars. This is not an absolute sale. 11. As an active dealer, Sedwick & Associates, LLC is able to estimate a reasonably low wholesale level for each lot and reserves the right to reject any bids below this level, generally at least 70% of low estimate. Furthermore, we reserve the right to reject any bids that we have reason to believe are not submitted in good faith. Starting bids are provided on auction.sedwickcoins.com when the auction is published, and bids below those starting bids cannot be entered. Prices realized do not necessarily reflect accurate market values so much as what the high Bidder is willing to pay based on their own needs. 12. All items are guaranteed genuine and as described. Certain information in a lot description or listing may come from an independent grading, authentication, or certification service, a consignor, a prior sale record, or a published reference. Lot descriptions may also reflect Sedwick & Associates, LLC’s own observations and professional judgment, based on examination, comparables, published information, and other relevant factors. References to outside records, opinions, or reports may be included as part of the cataloging context. Pedigree and provenance information reflects the records and sources considered in preparing the lot description. Descriptions are prepared from information available at the time of cataloging, and occasional errors or omissions may occur. Grades, designations, population or census data, attributions, and other third party opinions may change. Sedwick & Associates, LLC does not guarantee that an independent third party will maintain its opinion, grade, designation, or record. A later change or disagreement by a third party, by itself, does not constitute an error in the lot description or grounds for return. After delivery, the Buyer is responsible for any alteration to the lot itself, including cleaning, repair, conservation, or other physical treatment, and for any subsequent change to its attribution, pedigree, or description. This provision does not alter Sedwick & Associates, LLC’s guarantee of genuineness and conformity to material facts expressly stated in the lot description, as corrected on the auction website before the lot closes, or limit any responsibility that applicable law does not permit to be excluded. Sedwick & Associates, LLC does NOT guarantee that any lots can be successfully encapsulated. Auctions are NOT approval sales, and therefore returns will NOT be accepted UNLESS there was an error in the listing. Grading and estimation of corrosion are subjective, and differences of opinion cannot be considered errors. Lots encapsulated by PCGS, NGC, or any other third party company may not be returned for any reason. Disputes as to authenticity shall be resolved by submission to PCGS or NGC, and if their determination is inconclusive, then the opinion of Sedwick & Associates, LLC shall stand. Any disputes, including proposed returns, must be brought to our attention no later than 2 days after receipt of the lot or lots by the Buyer and BEFORE return shipment to us, with any applicable refunds to be made immediately upon receipt of the returned item or items by us. All returns must be received by us in unaltered condition and in their original, unopened, sealed flips no later than one month after the date of the first auction session. Late remittance can therefore negate return privileges. Any refunds for returns paid for by credit card will be subject to a 3% return fee. Returns paid by PayPal will incur a 4% return fee. In the event of loss or damage, Sedwick & Associates, LLC’s liability shall be limited to the hammer price plus Buyer’s Premium only. NGC or PCGS census data, including designations such as “finest known,” are given based on the date of cataloging and are not presumed to be accurate forever. Any group lots returned due to an error in listing must be returned in entirety. 13. In case of loss or theft, the guaranty is limited to either the reserve price, if unsold, or the hammer price plus Buyer’s Premium, if sold. Any extra expenses incurred by the winning Bidder or Consignor in order to bid, inspect, consign, or pick up the lots are not covered and are the sole responsibility of the winning Bidder or Consignor. Any potential or speculative value is not guaranteed. 14. Lots may be inspected before the auction at our private office in Florida by appointment only between Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time. High quality photos of all items are viewable on our website and on auction.sedwickcoins.com 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All photographs in the catalog and online are of the actual lots being sold but may not be actual size or to scale. Color and brightness of online photos may vary according to your monitor and video card specifications. We welcome requests for additional photos or HD video of the items to be sold. Photos taken by grading services may be included in the online lot listings. They may differ in color and brightness, and holder prongs may not be visible. 15. If the Buyer does not supply a Florida resale certificate, then Florida sales tax will apply as follows: If picked up in person, 6.5% will be added to the total, consisting of hammer price plus Buyer’s Premium, for all items that are NOT coins or bullion, and to all non U.S. coins whose cumulative total is less than $500. The same applies to lots shipped to Florida addresses, but the rate, from 6% to 7.5%, will be according to the county of delivery. There is no Florida sales tax on U.S. coins, on lots shipped out of state, or on total coin or bullion purchases over $500. 16. All Bidders and Consignors acknowledge and agree that the Auctioneer, Sedwick & Associates, LLC, does NOT guarantee that auctions will be unimpaired, uninterrupted, or error free and accordingly shall not be liable for such eventualities. Any errors in the printed catalog will be rectified on the website and auction.sedwickcoins.com as they come to our attention, and those corrected listings shall be deemed the binding descriptions at the time of the auction. The Auctioneer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or decline any bid, remove bids and reopen bidding, withdraw lots, or change lot sequence or bidding increments at any time, even after the winning bid and winning Bidder have been announced. Any bidding disputes shall be adjudicated by the Auctioneer, whose decision shall be deemed binding and final. This auction is held in accordance with the rules of the International Association of Professional Numismatists, IAPN. 17. This auction is conducted in accordance with the auction laws of the State of Florida. The licensed auction business is Sedwick & Associates, LLC, Florida AB#2592. The Auctioneer and Bidder agree that the venue for all claims and disputes shall be the applicable court having jurisdiction in Orange County in the State of Florida, and that the prevailing party shall be entitled to all attorneys’ fees and costs. THE BIDDER AGREES TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. 18. All Bidders must meet the Auctioneer’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at the Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by the Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the auction. The Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person or company from the auction. Sedwick & Associates, LLC reserves the right to reject any bids suspected not to be submitted in good faith. If an entity places a bid, then the person executing the bid on behalf of the entity agrees to personally guarantee payment for any successful bid. 19. If a certificate of authenticity is not already included in the lot description, we can provide one upon request by the Buyer for a fee. Please see our website for pricing information or contact the company before placing your bids. See www.sedwickcoins.com/certification/coa.htm for more details.

Treasure, World Coin and Paper Money Auction 40
Live floor and Internet auction, Thursday-Saturday, November 5, 6, & 7, 2026 Welcome to our Auction 40! Our November 5 and 6 sessions will be held on the floor, with live bidding beginning at 9:00 a.m., followed by an online only session on November 7. The sale brings together important rarities and substantial specialized offerings, including superb Chilean gold and silver, an extensive selection of Colombian coinage, and rare banknotes from both countries. More than 500 shipwreck coins include selections from the J. M. Morse III Collection, whose Atocha artifacts also feature in the sale. Historic gold and silver bars and the Special Collection of Odd Shaped Mexican Cobs add further interest, while several unique coins and numerous examples at the highest certified grades appear throughout the catalog. Many coins also carry important pedigrees from earlier sales and the collections of well-known numismatists, with provenance recorded in several sections of the auction. The gold cobs begin with a fine selection of mainland Spanish issues, followed by Mexican and South American gold. Leading this section is the Mexico City 1714 J Royal 8 escudos from the 1715 Fleet, NGC MS 65 (lot 21). The Bogotá 1753 cob 8 escudos, NGC AU 55 (lot 39), is another important highlight, illustrated in several standard references and with a documented pedigree extending back to 1936. Collectors of Mexican gold will find a particularly significant opportunity in the three denominations of 1732, the first year of machine struck gold coinage in the Americas. Offered individually in lots 1205 through 1207, the 4 escudos in NGC MS 60 (lot 1205), 2 escudos in NGC AU 58 (lot 1206), and 1 escudo in NGC MS 61 (lot 1207) form an exceptional group, all at the top of their respective NGC censuses. Our shipwreck selections range from choice individual coins to substantial groups from well documented recoveries. Among them, the Morse Collection contributes Atocha coins, artifacts, and a substantial gold “finger” bar. Another gold bar from the Santa Margarita accompanies early silver “tumbaga” bars and large colonial silver ingots, offering collectors a strong representation of the bullion carried aboard the treasure fleets. The artifacts include gold jewelry, navigational instruments, silverware, and porcelain, as well as a massive Spanish bronze naval cannon cataloged as a recovery from the 1588 Armada (lot 517). Among the opening lots of Mexican silver is a very rare Charles and Joanna “Early Series” 3 reales, assayer Rincón, PCGS XF45 (lot 579). This short lived denomination belongs to the earliest coinage of the Mexico City mint, with the present example the finest graded by either PCGS or NGC for the variety with three dots indicating the denomination. The Special Collection of Odd Shaped Mexican Cobs provides an engaging look at colonial mint production. Assembled over many years, its 67 pieces demonstrate the extraordinary forms created in the preparation and cutting of silver blanks, including elongated flans, unusual projections, and natural holes. With examples from the 1715 Fleet and other documented recoveries, this distinctive collection has much to offer collectors of cobs in general. Chile is especially well represented in the difficult colonial gold denominations of 4, 2, and 1 escudos. The celebrated Santiago 1758 J 2 escudos from the Segarra Collection, NGC AU 53 (lot 860), leads this offering as one of only three known. Further selections from the Val y Mexía Collection accompany an extensive run of colonial portrait silver and smaller denominations. The rare La Serena countermarked 4 reales from the Virgil Brand Collection (lot 916) deserves particular attention. The Colombian offering presents hundreds of coins at a range of levels suitable for both advanced collectors and those beginning to explore the series. With many uncertified examples and unusually complete selections, it provides a rarely seen opportunity to follow the development of Colombian coinage from its early Bogotá and Cartagena cobs through colonial portrait issues, Republican gold and silver, and patterns. The Bogotá 1769 JV “rat nose” 8 escudos, NGC MS 62 (lot 958), represents one of the principal Colombian rarities in the sale, while the 1870 Popayán gold 10 pesos (lot 1057) and 1869 silver 5 décimos (lot 1066) are important Republican highlights. Together, the group offers both significant individual pieces and the breadth needed to build or expand a collection across the history of Colombian coinage. Important pedigrees from established collections and earlier auctions appear throughout this section as well. Another notable early colonial rarity is the Santo Domingo 4 reales of Charles and Joanna, assayer F (lot 1113). From the Rudman Collection and illustrated in Calicó, it is one of only five known of its type, an important opportunity for collectors of the earliest silver coinage of the Americas. Paper money brings another important specialty to the sale. Early Chilean local currency, private bank issues, and fiscal overprints are complemented by Colombian proofs, specimens, and rare private emissions. The 1840 Valdivia 4 reales (lot 1472), the unique Banco de Colombia 50 pesos proof of 1875 (lot 1475), and the Banco de Bogotá 10 pesos of the same year (lot 1476) are among the principal attractions. Several notes are illustrated in specialist references, making this a valuable opportunity to acquire documented rarities from these challenging series. Be sure to review the final online only session on November 7, with additional coins and collecting groups across a wide range of estimates. We thank our consignors for entrusting us with this material and wish all our bidders the best of luck in Auction 40!

A NOTE ABOUT THE ORDER
As the world’s leading purveyors of New World cobs and shipwreck coins, we have always separated and highlighted our cob and shipwreck offerings from the rest of what we sell. We have preserved that arrangement in our auctions as well, with cobs presented in order of establishment of each mint and the shipwreck coins, ingots and artifacts presented in chronological order by wreck.

SHIPWRECK HISTORIES
Please visit our website at www.sedwickcoins.com/wreckhistory.pdf for brief historical backgrounds on the various shipwrecks in this auction.
COIN GRADING and DESCRIPTIVE TERMS
From best to worst, UNC is Uncirculated, AU is Almost Uncirculated, XF is Extra Fine, VF is Very Fine, F is Fine, VG is Very Good, and G is Good, with Fair and Poor below that. (“About” or “A” means the coin is just shy of the indicated grade. Mint State refers to lustrous, choice UNC coins.) We do not always assign numismatic grades to sea-salvage and land-burial coins, which were usually Uncirculated (or close to it) before the effects of corrosion and/or cleaning. Corrosion is usually assessed, from least to most, as follows: none, minimal, light, moderate, and heavy. Also note that we sometimes use the abbreviations E for escudos and R for reales in the listings for Spanish and Spanish colonial items.
A NOTE ABOUT PHOTOS
Coin photos in this catalog are generally shown at actual size, with the exception of large lots, which are often reduced, as are most medals, paper money, artifacts, documents, artwork and media. Photos of coins in the most recent NGC capsules have four white intrusions into the rims of the coins due to a special design meant to enable viewing of the edges of those coins.
We encourage bidders to contact us if they have any questions or would like additional photos or videos of any lot in our auction. Inquiries can be sent through the auction site or by emailing us at office@sedwickcoins.com.

Gold Cobs of the New World Mexico City, Mexico
Cob 8 escudos Royal (galano)
21. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold cob 8 escudos Royal (galano), Philip V, 1714 J, very rare, NGC MS 65 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). S-M30; Cal-91; KM-R57.3; Fr-7. 26.94 grams. Since the 1960s, the 1715 Fleet has yielded a wealth of stunning gold 8 escudos Royals ranging in date from 1695 to 1715; but there is something particularly alluring about the 1714’s, which, like this one, exhibit the same super-sharp details and smooth fields seen on regular issues but in a perfectly round format showing even striking pressure throughout, and of course with certain details (like floret ornaments and daggers in tressure dimples) specific to the Royal dies for this year. Curiously, unlike other years, the Royal dies of 1714 were used on regular cob planchets as well, and also on roundish “quasi-Royals,” perhaps right after the striking of the present coin, which exhibits some very minor doubling (trumped by a very bold final strike) and localized rim weakness that set it apart from other examples of this date showing fully struck outer borders on exceptionally broad flans. This piece is nevertheless perfectly centered to allow for 100% full legends and inner elements, and it was struck in medal alignment, topped off with a deep, rich color and bright mint luster. We can find no evidence of wear or shipwreck damage on this piece, although there are a few tiny black spots to attest to its time in the elements, and in fact it is tied with one other for second finest certified behind a single MS 66 at NGC, with another MS66 at PCGS as well. By our records, of ten known examples this is only the third to enter the market publicly. Not only is this a “golden” opportunity to acquire a genuine galano, it is also of special appeal to hardcore researchers studying die states and the potential link to the known “quasi-Royal” 8 escudos of 1714. NGC #3588898-001. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $200,000-up.

Bourbon shield with clear oXML to left (hence limited to the period of 1702-05) and denomination IIII to right, also full “box-end” cross on other side, typically blunted points on edge (as made), an extremely rare type of which we can only find one other, a 1705/4-dated example in the State of Florida Collection, notably unlisted in both Calicó and KM.

S-L29; Cal-2144; KM-38.2; Fr-7. 26.96 grams.

Cob 4 escudos
Sedwick Auction 40
37. PERU, Lima, gold cob 4 escudos, 1709 M, very rare, NGC MS 63 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label), finest known in NGC census, ex-McGregor, ex-Stack’s. S-L28; Cal-2003; KM-unl (37 for type); Fr-8. 13.43 grams. Fabulously lustrous, with full pillars-and-waves
and cross-castles-lions that are just off-center enough to allow a full king’s name PHILIPPVS, this date unlisted in references until noted by Dr. Frank Sedwick in his 1988 Coinage of the Americas Conference presentation (published in The Coinage of El Peru) as “unlisted but exists,” this example in fact one of only two we have seen or heard of (the other listed as AU 58 in the NGC census) outside of the State of Florida Collection, which has two. All four examples are struck from the same pillars-side die, which (as one of the State specimens shows) are the only 4 escudos to have legend ending in REXA (a curious precursor to dates in the legend, as the A stands for ANNO), and, a bit more trivially, feature P-V-A with the A punched over another A that was way too far to the left. There are two different cross-side dies, one appearing on three of the coins and the other die on just one of the State coins. Because the tail of the 9 in the date dips into the waves, at times these coins have been confused for issues of the date 1700, the assayer for which is H and not M, as we see here. NGC #4485214-002. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to the McGregor Collection (stated on label) and to the Stack’s auction of June 1998 (lot 458), with Sedwick photo-certificate. Estimate: $25,000-up.

Choice full cross-castles-lions on a small, thick flan (“Bogota cut”), the full crown and pillars also choice but with bottom of last digit of date 8 truncated, sharp strike with strong die-polish and metal-flow lines, attractively red toned, one of the finest known for small modules, typically described as “superb” in its various auction appearances over the past 58 years. NGC #8906744-001. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 13, with original lot-tag 39, the Stack’s auction of June 1998 (lot 460), the Superior auction of June 1988 (lot 593), the Superior auction of June 1975 (lot 1227), and the Stack’s auction of December 1968 (lot 358).

Bogotá, Colombia
Session I - November 5, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
Cob 8 escudos
39. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold cob 8 escudos, 1753, assayer S (Sebastián de Rivera) below denomination 8 to right, mintmark FS to left, Royal-like strike, NGC AU 55, finest and only example in the NGC or PCGS censuses, Plate Coin in Calicó, Ponterio-Pedraza, Gutiérrez, Tauler, and Restrepo (last two stated on label). Restrepo-M98.14 (this coin); S-B27a; Cal-35
(this coin); Tauler-626 (this coin); KM-26; Fr-11. 27.00 grams. NGC #8914054-001.
An exceptional Bogotá 8 escudos distinguished by its extraordinary roundness, unusually complete strike and remarkable clarity of the date and principal design elements. Broad and nearly perfectly circular flan with a beautifully centered crowned shield, bold F-S mintmark arrangement to left and a particularly clear denomination 8 with assayer S below to right. The reverse displays a remarkably complete and well-centered Jerusalem cross within tressure, with strong interior devices, extensive peripheral legend and a notably clear date for the issue. The combination of symmetry, centering and completeness gives this piece a pronounced “quasi-Royal” appearance, highly unusual among regular Bogotá cob 8 escudos. The surfaces are especially attractive, with a beautiful, rich, yellow-orange original patina that enhances the depth of the devices and gives the coin a warm, completely natural appearance. Only limited peripheral weakness is present, leaving an exceptional amount of the original design visible on both sides. Beyond its striking appearance, this coin possesses an extraordinary pedigree and publication history. It has passed through the cabinets of several important collections, and we have been able to trace its documented history back to 1936, when it first appeared in the numismatic record in the Lonja del Almidón (Madrid) auction of March 30, just before the Spanish Civil War effectively ended major coin auctions in Spain for many years. Next it appeared in Calicó’s 1953 landmark work Aportación a la Historia Monetaria de Santa Fe de Bogotá, and over the following decades the same specimen was repeatedly selected for illustration and census work by leading specialists, making it one of the best-documented individual Bogotá cob 8 escudos of the period. Pedigree and publication history: Plate Coin in F. Xavier Calicó’s Aportación a la Historia Monetaria de Santa Fe de Bogotá (Colombia), Barcelona, 1953, p. 75, no. 35; illustrated as coin SF C8 FVI 53 #5 in Ponterio and Pedraza’s “The Cob 8 Escudos Struck in Colombia at the Santa Fe de Bogotá Mint: A Comprehensive Study and Census,” published in Numismatics International Bulletin, December 2006 (a copy of which accompanies this lot); Plate Coin 626 in Rafael Tauler Fesser’s Oro Macuquino, 2011, p. 144; Plate Coin M98.14 in Jorge Emilio Restrepo’s Coins of Colombia, 4th ed., 2012; illustrated in Ignacio Gutiérrez Delgado’s Los Doblones de a Ocho Escudos, 2024, Vol. I, p. 305; pedigreed to the Lonja del Almidón (Madrid) auction of March 30, 1936, lot 995; the UBS Auction 63 of September 6, 2005, lot 4508; and the Áureo & Calicó “Oro Macuquino” auction of December 2013, lot 76. Estimate: $50,000-up.

NGC #8914207-001. From the 1715 Fleet. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.
47. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold cob 2 escudos, 1699 (ARCE), upper half of shield transposed, rare, NGC AU details / obv scratched. ARCE-44; Restrepo-M66.28; S-B24; Cal-903;
67 (this coin); Restrepo-M66.30; S-B11; Cal-1920 (under Ph. V); KM-14.2; Fr-4a. A beautiful example, extensively pedigreed, with choice full cross-andtressure that is off-center just enough to show almost all of Philip V’s name and ordinal, the shield also off-center but choice and with clear CA- for Charles II, pertaining to a chaotic transitional period of 1700-2 in which Philip’s name was combined with that of the deceased Charles before the coins returned to just Charles alone in 1703, probable evidence of a cover-up related to a secret reduction in fineness. Unfortunately, the date is not visible on this coin, but from die matching we know it is either an inverted 1702 reading as “2071” inward from the edge, or 1704 (normal orientation) punched over “2071.” Also not visible in the cross-side legend is assayer V.A before the date (presumably for Ventura de Arce), again confirmed by 1704 coins and one other known example of this “2071” die that was lot 179 in the original Real Eight/Christensen auction of October 1964. From the 1715 Fleet, with original Fisher photo-certificate PC8-31122, plated on p. 1319 of Dr. Frank Sedwick’s article “In Search of Colombian Cobs (Numismatist, July 1985) and on p. 89 of Lasser-Restrepo’s The Cob Coinage of Colombia (2000), pedigreed to the Lasser Collection (Ponterio auction of January 2005, lot 849, the catalog for which accompanies this lot) and to the Mel Fisher Collection, with his tag and photo-certificate PC8-31122, also plated in the KM Standard Catalog references and in older editions of Friedberg’s Gold Coins of the World, and photographed and described as October 2019’s “Treasure of the Month” on pp. 82-83 of The 1715 Fleet Society’s Treasures of a Lost Fleet II (2022), and finally plated as coin 67(1) on p. 78 of Daniel Frank Sedwick’s Arce’s Doubloons (2025), stated on label. Estimate: $5,000-up.

Shipwreck Ingots Featured collection: Joshua M. Morse III, Esq.
Josh Morse spent 20 years as a practicing trial attorney, being elected president of the Mississippi Trial Lawyers Association and Vice President of the Mississippi Bar Association. The focus of his practice was maritime law, representing the shrimpers and longshoremen along the Mississippi and Louisiana Coast. After spending the first half of his professional life in the courtroom, Josh decided to go into teaching and joined the faculty at the University of Mississippi, followed by a year at Yale University as a Sterling Fellow. Josh then returned to Ole Miss as Dean of the law school there. In 1969 he moved the family to Tallahassee, Florida, and became Dean of the Florida State University School of Law. At all times, his focus was on admiralty or maritime law. In May 1980, the container ship M.V. Summit Venture collided with Tampa’s Skyway Bridge, and Josh was hired as co-counsel in the case. Not long after that, his friend and former student David Paul Horan asked him to join as cocounsel representing Mel Fisher/Treasure Salvors in defeating other parties’ claims to the treasure. Morse and Horan prevailed, and for his work Josh received the ingots and coins you will see with his pedigree in the listings to follow. 22

Session I - November 5, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida 56. Gold “finger” bar 13, 22 oz troy (684 grams), marked with fineness XXIII: (23.5K) and weight 148-6 (castellanos-tomines), ex-Atocha (1622), pre-“Mother Lode,” ex-Morse. 4¾” x 1” x ½”. This gold bar, impressively high in intrinsic value, was among at least fourteen of its kind found in one cache on the Atocha in 1982, which turned out to be a very interesting grouping of ingots that all lack tax stamps or any other marks except fineness and weight, both of which were simply carved into the surface and not stamped. Significantly, both numbers are quite accurate, the fineness confirmed by XRF (23.5K gold, with about 2% silver and traces of platinum, copper, and iron only) and the weight calculated as 148 castellanos of 4.6 grams each plus 6 tomines at 0.575 gram each, hence 684 grams or 22 oz troy (certificate says 22.09). At first it was postulated that these had to be “church” bars, as the wealth of the Catholic Church would not have been taxed, and since the bars were not for commerce, no record of an assay was needed either. We have seen a similar situation with gold ingots belonging to South American missions among the salvaged items from the Luz wreck of 1752.
The contravening theory that these Atocha bars were contraband instead seems less plausible when you consider that most contraband lacked any markings at all. We may never know the whole story behind these ingots, but what is incontrovertible is that they are among the purest and most intrinsically valuable gold items from the Atocha. Like the others of this type, this specific ingot is well molded, with smooth sides and bottom (stamped with its Treasure Salvors number 13A) and with the top a bit sunken from casting, traces of coral in small bubble-pits and in the markings. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher color photo-certificate A13-82 dated June 6, 1984, pedigreed to the J.M. Morse III Collection. Estimate: $90,000-up.
Santa Margarita, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
57. Gold “finger” bar 20, 17.55 oz troy (546 grams), marked with fineness XVIII (18K), foundry or assayer IVAN | P3, and tax stamps, ex-Santa Margarita (1622). 7¾” x 1” x ¼”. An uncut and well-marked bar with three iterations of fineness XVIII
inside incuse box (confirmed by XRF, the only impurity being silver), four partial circular tax stamps of Philip III (one with king’s ordinal III showing), and a single cartouche exhibiting IVAN (with the IVA in monogram) above P3, which we speculate could stand for an assayer named Juan Pérez. Some old X-scratches over the assayer mark could have significance as well, perhaps as a sort of cancellation or transfer. Curiously, the bottom of the bar bears a fifth partial tax stamp in addition to the Treasure Salvors number 20 and a special 1980 seal that was discontinued after the first finds. The top of the bar shows an atypical amount of tiny bubble pits, as if the metal was too hot or cooled too fast. Finally, at one end is a cylindrical “bite,” where the assayer removed and retained a small amount to determine the fineness before he stamped it on the ingot. Light yellow in color, impressively complete, and further desirable as part of the first major find to determine that Fisher had indeed found the Santa Margarita shipwreck. From the Santa Margarita (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 20-M-80 (point value 1916) and 1980-dated Santa Margarita Expedition investor’s certificate 10. Estimate: $60,000-up.

“Dry Tortugas Wreck,” sunk ca. 1622 west of Key West, Florida 58. Small cut piece of a gold “finger” bar, 1.3 oz troy (40.38 grams), marked with fineness XXI: (21.5K), foundry/assayer SARGOSA | PECARTA, and tax stamp, very rare, ex-“Dry Tortugas Wreck” (ca. 1622), Oceans Odyssey Plate. Roughly 1” x ¾” x ¼”.
In their time, complete Spanish gold bars represented massive amounts of value, too much for the average person, so typically they were cut into small, coin-like pieces like this one, which approximated the value of an 8 escudos plus a 4 escudos. It was for this reason that the bars were marked with fineness and tax stamps multiple times, and this particular piece was strategically cut to show both a partial tax stamp and the -SA end of foundry or assayer cartouche SARGOSA | PECARTA (scratched with an X, perhaps deliberately), over-stamped with the fineness of XXI inside an incuse box with two dots inside a separate box to denote an additional half-karat. The cuts are quite sharp, consisting of a single heavy through-chop at one end and several small jagged chiselings at the other end. On top of its appeal as a rare cut piece, this little trophy was published as one of the featured finds from a deep-water wreck that was eventually identified as the Buen Jesús y Nuestra Señora del Rosario, another ship in the same 1622 Fleet as the Atocha and Santa Margarita of Mel Fisher fame. While PECARTA probably refers to the name of an unknown assayer, no doubt SARGOSA refers to Zaragoza, on the shores of the Rio Nechí in the province of Antioquia, Colombia. Zaragoza was home to one of the most prolific gold mines in the early 1600s, producing some 20 million pesos of gold from 1590 to 1645, and held a caja real (royal treasury office) as early as 1582. Bars with this marking are well known from the 1622 Fleet, but this is the first time we have seen it on a cut piece. From the “Dry Tortugas Wreck” (ca. 1622), with Sedwick photo-certificate, plated on page 73 of Oceans Odyssey 3 (2013), ed. by Greg Stemm and Sean Kingsley. Estimate: $10,000-up.
59. Lot of five gold bits, from 0.03 to 0.20 gram each (total 0.36 gram), 16K to 18K fine, ex-“Dry Tortugas Wreck” (ca. 1622), Oceans Odyssey Plate. Each no more than 1/8”. These little bits are not natural nug-
gets but rather leftover fragments that resulted when large ingots were cut into coin-like pieces (like the previous lot), certainly too valuable to be discarded in their time but also not worth re-melting and re-assaying, instead left as “small change” for little transactions. Each comes with its own original certificate, and two of the larger bits are featured in the same photo as the previous lot in the original publication on the finds from what was eventually identified as the Buen Jesús y Nuestra Señora del Rosario of the 1622 Fleet. Despite the challenge of testing such diminutive pieces, we were able to get XRF readings of about 16K to 18K. Small cut-marks are visible on one. From the “Dry Tortugas Wreck” (ca. 1622), with original Seahawk certificates 90-1A-474.0002, -628.0000, -2538.0008, -3437.0213, and -3437.0214, two of which are plated on page 73 of Oceans Odyssey 3 (2013), ed. by Greg Stemm and Sean Kingsley. Estimate: $1,000-up.

Silver
“Tumbaga Wreck,” sunk ca. 1528 off Grand Bahama Island
60. Silver “tumbaga” bar M-136, 6.18 lb av (2803 grams), with markings of fineness IV9cccc (1900/2400), serial RLXXX, and assayer B~Vo, ex-“Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), García-Barneche Plate. 13¼” x 3-3/8” x ½”. Thin but neatly formed ingot
with relatively smooth top punctuated by pits from gas bubbles or burnt-off charcoal, clear markings in one cluster near center on bottom, crude squarish assayer’s “bite” in one corner, minimal surface corrosion, overall a good-sized bar of manageable weight. From the “Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), with Sedwick photo-certificate, pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 23 (lot 242), plated on page 113 of Agustín García-Barneche’s The “Tumbaga” Saga, 2nd ed (2018). Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.
61. Silver “tumbaga” bar M-19, 5.25 lb av (2381 grams), with markings of fineness 9CCCCLXX (970/2400), serial RC, assayer B~Vo, and two partial tax stamps, ex-“Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528). 7” x 3” x ¾”. Typical “half-brick,” neatly formed with smooth
bottom and sides but somewhat rippled top from the cooling of the metal, with assayer’s “bite” in one corner and all markings on bottom consisting of two tax stamps left of center and the rest in a cluster to the right, the left side of the fineness likely missing the number for one thousand (iU), as the bar does not appear to be only 40% silver (970/2400) and probably should be marked iU9CCCCLXX (1970/2400) for 82% silver. In fact, XRF testing inside cracks does show a fineness of about 83% silver, while surface readings of about 93% probably reflect the typical loss of non-silver alloy from conservation. From the “Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), with Sedwick photo-certificate and autographed copy of Agustín GarcíaBarneche’s The “Tumbaga” Saga (2nd edition, 2018). Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

62. Silver “tumbaga” bar M-32, 5.21 lb av (2363 grams), with markings of fineness iUL (1050/2400 fine), serial RC, assayer B~Vo, and one partial tax stamp, ex-“Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528). 7” x 3½” x 5/8”. From a typical “half-brick” mold but with bulge in center of uneven bottom, slightly rippled top with all markings localized together near right side, diagonal assayer’s “bite” in top-right corner with possible older bite in opposite corner from earlier assay (any associated markings obliterated before the shipwreck). From the “Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), with Sedwick photo-certificate. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.
“Golden Fleece Wreck,” sunk ca. 1550 in the northern Caribbean
63. Half-cut silver “splash” ingot, 21.2 oz troy (658 grams), with markings of fineness and foundry/assayer cartouche, ex-“Golden Fleece Wreck” (ca. 1550). Roughly 7” x 3½” x 1/8”. From a typically thin and freeform ingot (cast without mold), about half
of it with natural edge but the rest showing a 4½”-long neat chisel-cut and two 2” crude breaks at a right angle that also caused a bend in that area, exhibiting more markings than usual for this wreck consisting of fineness in four boxes and foundry or assayer in rectangular cartouche, unfortunately all somewhat corroded and unreadable (XRF tested at 98% fine silver). From the “Golden Fleece Wreck” (ca. 1550). Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

Unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
64. Small cut piece of a silver “splash” ingot, 0.93 oz troy (28.93 grams), with partial tax stamp, ex-unidentified ca.1554 wreck off Santo Domingo. Roughly 1” x ½” x 3/8”. A thick, interior segment in rectangular shape with all four sides broken rather
than chiseled, intentionally cut to include most of a small circular tax stamp (albeit unreadable), used in its time as a “plata corriente” coin (the equivalent of an 8 reales, more or less), but possibly adulterated with lead, as shown by XRF results, which average about 95% fine silver overall, dark gray in color. From an unidentified wreck of the Spanish 1554 Fleet sunk off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Estimate: $500-$750.
65. Large silver “splash” ingot, 96 oz troy (2984 grams), marked with circular tax stamp showing pillars and PLVS VLTRA, partially cut, ex-unidentified ca.-1554 wreck off Santo Domingo. Roughly 9” in diameter. Very thin, broad puddle of refined
silver (XRF tested at over 99% fine silver, hence current melt value is over $6000), naturally poured without a mold, showing a rough bottom but smooth top with nearly full and distinctive tax stamp near edge featuring two pillars and the motto PLVS VLTRA under a crown, the edge somewhat irregular but with approximately 4½” of it tangentially sliced off in its time to make “small change,” lightly toned silver color all over. Around 2007-8, coins and ingots like this one identical to those from the 1554 Fleet off Padre Island, Texas, entered the market from a shipwreck off Santo Domingo that had to have been carrying material from the same 1554 Fleet, either on a ship that survived the initial storm or salvaged in its time and lost again. The markings on the ingots are a match with those found off Padre Island, and are distinctly different from “Golden Fleece Wreck” ingots of ca. 1550. From an unidentified wreck of the Spanish 1554 Fleet sunk off Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Estimate: $5,000-up.

Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
66. Large silver bar 585 from Oruro, 67 lb 0.48 oz troy (25 kg), marked with fineness IIUCCCLXXX (2380/2400), manifest number LXXIX (79), owner/shipper marks and tax stamps, Class Factor 0.9, ex-Atocha (1622), ex-Morse. 15¾” long, up to
5” wide, 2½” tall. A typically large “loaf ” of silver but with particularly sloping sides hiding a shallow cylindrical assayer’s “bite” at one end, the top showing fineness marking in center and manifest number above and to right of that, with large owner/shipper “siglas” near both ends, including several that were marked out (canceled) in their time, ship’s silvermaster mark V (dr Vreder) in one corner. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S585, pedigreed to the J.M. Morse III Collection. Estimate: $60,000-up.

67. Large silver bar 387 from Potosí, 79 lb 1.76 oz troy (28.4 kg), marked with date 16Z1, fineness IIUCCCLX (2360/2400), manifest number IIIIUDCXXVII (4627), A-series mark, and tax stamps, Class Factor 0.8, ex-Atocha (1622), ex-Morse.
13¾” x 5” x 3”. Neatly cast “loaf ” with bold markings of manifest number and fineness (including Mexía assayer cartouche) above and below central circular tax stamps flanking the typical double-scoop assayer’s “bite,” with clear PoI6ZI mine/date cartouche (mentioned on certificate) below and left of the manifest, two more tax stamps closer to each end, also with bold A (from an official letter punch) to left of fineness that denotes an undocumented series of bars without owner/shipper marks (most also lacking silvermaster V), which some researchers believe were used to pay taxes to the crown and therefore were not marked to be reunited with their owners upon arrival in Spain. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S387, pedigreed to the J.M. Morse III Collection. Estimate: $60,000-up.

68. Medium-sized silver bar from Potosí, 19.37 lb troy (7.23 kg), marked with date 1622, fineness, manifest number CVII (107), and tax stamp, ex-Atocha (1622). Roughly 13” x 4” x 1”. A mysterious bar, originally found encrusted with coins, in an atypical size yet with top like a larger bar showing fairly clear manifest number above and weaker (unreadable fineness, XRF tested at 98% fine silver) below a central double-scoop assayer’s “bite,” weak but certain PoI6ZZ mine/date cartouche to left of manifest and circular tax stamp to right. The “bite” appears to be the same size as for larger bars, hence perhaps this one has simply corroded down on the bottom, but we also note a higher than normal level of lead content (about 1.5%) and lack of any owner/shipper “siglas” or A-series mark, definitely a bar with a story to tell!. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-108205 and as-found photo showing sixteen silver coins encrusted onto it. Estimate: $12,500-up.

Santa Margarita, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
69. Encrusted large silver bar 505, 53 lb 5.48 oz troy (20 kg), fineness unknown, no visible markings, ex-Santa Margarita (1622), ex-Morse. 15” x 5” x 2½”. It is hard to know what to make of this bar! For starters, it is one of very few bars that Treasure Salvors
left totally encrusted, just as it was found in 1980 (the “mini-mother lode” find when the shipwreck was confirmed to be Santa Margarita), its special nature evident far ahead of our time of XRF testing, which indicates the surface content (in the few places where the silver is exposed) to be as little as 40% silver and as much as 36% lead, with a gold content between 2.5% and 5%! Our best conclusion, especially considering a 78% copper ridge within the white crust on top, is that this silver bar was either contained in some sort of special box or was wrapped in lead, either way almost certainly contraband. While a small section of the top edge has been cleaned to show the dark silver (same for an area on the bottom where Treasure Salvors stamped the number 505, matching a sticker on top), the next owner might consider carefully cleaning off more of the top crust to see what markings are underneath, maybe even a double-scoop assayer’s “bite” for Potosí, considering there does not seem to be any cylindrical version (for Oruro) on either end. In the meantime this unique piece makes for a great “au naturel” display with mysteries within. Note: The certificate inexplicably gives the weight as “43 lbs [av] [or] 638.68 Troy Ounces,” whereas our own measurement is 641.48 oz troy (53 lb 5.48 oz troy). From the Santa Margarita (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 505-M-80 dated November 1, 1982, pedigreed to the J.M. Morse III Collection. Estimate: $40,000-up.

Joanna, sunk in 1682 off South Africa
72. Large silver bar, 453.7 oz troy (14 kg), marked with fineness IIUCC C X L II I (2343/2400), assayer ZALAZAR, manifest CXCII (192), and owner/shipper mark, very rare provenance, ex-Joanna (1682), ex-Bir. 16” x 4½” x 1½”. This long
ingot somewhat resembles the big Peruvian silver loaves from the Atocha of just 60 years earlier (and in fact recovered around the same time), with very similar markings, but of course with a later assayer cartouche that clearly says ZALAZAR, supposedly of the Oruro mine since there is no double-scoop “bite” for Potosí on the top (the edge too corroded to see a cylindrical version for Oruro). That cartouche appears right after the fineness (confirmed by XRF to be 98% fine silver), which appears upside down relative to the manifest number and owner/shipper “sigla” at the other end. Faded ghosts of other marks (mine/date and tax stamps) appear below center. The bottom and sides of this bar are quite eroded, and one side bears two drill holes from a modern assay. According to the salvors (who recovered this bar on February 23, 1984, as stated on the accompanying certificate), almost all the big silver bars from this wreck were melted, so this piece is accordingly rare; in fact, it is the only one we have seen (we sold it to Mark Bar in 1998). This piece may represent the only chance to own an ingot from the Joanna shipwreck. From the Joanna (1682), pedigreed to the Mark Bir Collection, with his certificate from 1998. Estimate: $35,000-up.

markings placed near one end of the bar, the other end typically chiseled around a very deep pit containing encrustation, all surfaces very smooth with only minor pitting, nicely toned in crevices. From the Rooswijk (1739), with photo-certificate BBAFTF-102. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.
Non-wreck 74. Medium-sized Spanish colonial silver “plata corriente” cut piece with partial tax stamp (early to mid-1500s), 2 oz troy (63.06 grams). Roughly 1¼” x
1¼” x ½”. Thick piece tapering to a thin edge, broken in three places (at right angles) from a large “splash” ingot, with one side smooth and the other rougher but with partial circular tax stamp showing (R)EX, light in color (XRF tested at about 88% silver with significant amounts of lead [<9%] and iridium [<3%], but not much copper), approximately equivalent to two 8 reales in its time. Estimate: $500-$750.
75. Small Spanish colonial silver “plata corriente” cut piece with partial tax stamp (early to mid-1500s), 1.14 oz troy (35.36 grams). Roughly 1¼” x 1” x 3/8”. A
roughly wedge-shaped chunk with some natural edge within two rough sides as broken from a “splash” ingot, one side quite rough (as made) but the other somewhat smooth and bearing a very clear circular tax stamp with REX+P showing, light tan sediment in crevices, XRF tested at 65% to 88% silver with 6%-9% lead and 5%-25% iridium (no copper), approximating the value of an 8 reales in its time.

x ½” x ¼”. Very dark in color, with a sheen of brown oxidation tinged
1¼” x 7/8” x ½”. A thick rectangular chunk, broken on four sides from
a large “splash” ingot made of 86% silver with as much as 4.5% lead, 7% iridium, and 2% copper (according to XRF testing), a typical “plata corriente” piece (used for money before coins were available in quantity in the colonies) more or less equivalent to one and two-thirds of an 8 reales in its time. According to the accompanying letter, this piece was among several found at the site of the Santiago Pueblo in the Rio Grande River valley near Bernalillo, New Mexico, by amateur archeologist Dee D. Brecheisen in the mid-1980s. Santiago Pueblo was an indigenous community visited by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, destroyed in the process but resettled later that century. Coronado was searching for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold, but instead encountered a dozen villages, or pueblos, like this one, peopled by Tiwa-speaking natives, which became known generally as Pueblo Indians. With letter and provenance statement from the finder’s son. Estimate: $500-up.

Despite the chaotic composition, this is otherwise a typical “plata corriente” piece (used for money before coins were available in quantity in the colonies), perhaps circulated as a 2 reales in its time, and was among several found at the site of the Santiago Pueblo in the Rio Grande River valley near Bernalillo, New Mexico, by amateur archeologist Dee D. Brecheisen in the mid-1980s (according to the accompanying letter). Santiago Pueblo was an indigenous community visited by Francisco Vásquez de Coronado in 1541, destroyed in the process but resettled later that century.

Unlike the hundreds of thousands of silver cobs found on the Atocha and Santa Margarita, only a handful of gold cobs were recovered from these wrecks, making them very rare and important trophies for shipwreck collectors. Because Spanish gold cobs are readily available from non-wreck sources, it is critical for Atocha examples to have original Fisher certification, which is the case here, bolstered by high-grade certification from PCGS as well.

Feversham, sunk in 1711 off Nova Scotia, Canada
328. MEXICO, Mexico City, cob 8 reales, Charles II, assayer not visible, plugged for use in the U.S. colonies (regulated), extremely rare, PCGS F details / contemporary plug (Feversham), ex-Christie’s. KM-46; Cal-Type 108. 19.40 grams. The history of circulating silver coinage in pre-Independence United States contains a dark chapter in the very early 1700s, when the New England Pine-Willow-Oak Tree hammered coinage (having ended in 1662) was but a memory and new Spanish milled pistareens were just starting to enter the local economy. Prior to the 1720s, this was the heyday of piracy and the consequential influx of Spanish American silver cobs, which were reliable in metal content but impossible to keep from being shaved or clipped. The remedy, as least as far as New York was concerned, was “regulation” in the form of drilling cobs and plugging them with refined silver wire to bring them back up to standard. Typically done by jewelers and silversmiths, this was the precursor to the very rare and important regulated gold coins executed by Brasher, Burger, and other names well known to U.S. numismatists. The early silver, however, was not marked by the silversmiths, and was generally relegated to short lives as mutilations begging to be melted. In truth, we have seen no examples outside of the Feversham finds. It was a revelation when the finds from the Feversham shipwreck first hit the market via Christie’s in 1989, which presented several such coins as “entirely unprecedented.” New York was Feversham’s last port of call, and documents show its purser requisitioned the value of 569 pounds, 12 shillings, 5 pence in silver coinage from the British Treasury Office in New York to buy supplies; whatever was left over sank with the ship, giving us what Christie’s called the “only known example of a typical cross section of New York’s change in the Colonial era.” On the present piece, the plug is most evident on the cross side, where it protrudes from the lower-left quadrant, below a patch of scrubbed dark horn silver. The cross detail is otherwise nice, with one castle full. Only about half the shield is visible on the other side, partially due to corrosion and more dark horn silver, but mostly from flat strike. While the coin was no doubt clipped in its time, it is the corrosion that accounts for the low weight now, as presumably the plug would have brought this piece up to full weight back in 1711. Such coins are virtually unavailable today, as the market quickly absorbed these regulated silver cobs from the Feversham years ago. They remain in high demand as evidence of what the city of New York was using for money in the early 1700s. PCGS #62022794. Pedigreed to the original Christie’s (New York) Feversham auction of February 1989, with original lot-tag 904. Estimate: $3,000-up.

S.B. Pulaski, sunk in 1838 off North Carolina 449. PERU, Cuzco, 8 reales, 1828 G, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SB Pulaski Shipwreck Label). KM-142.2. SB Pulaski shipwreck coins are among
the earliest and rarest of all U.S. shipwreck recoveries. The steam packet Pulaski, carrying 187 passengers and crew, left the port of Charleston, South Carolina on June 14, 1838, bound for Baltimore, Maryland. Around 11 PM that night, off the coast of North Carolina, the starboard boiler exploded. Some were killed in the blast, others were lost as the ship quickly went down; around 59 survivors were saved. Unlike the other larger U.S. shipwreck recoveries, where big quantities of coins from commercial shipments were recovered, coins from the Steamboat Pulaski were wholly passenger and crew “pocket change.” The find uncovered Mint State U.S. gold coins, a number of U.S. silver coins (mostly half dollars), and many foreign coins that were U.S. legal tender at the time, like this one. The Liberty side of this coin was apparently protected with almost full and original luster showing and the nice sharp AU details indicative of minimal wear in circulation prior to sinking. The arms side, while grainy from saltwater corrosion, still shows full and sharp design details, light gray in color. NGC #2085213-002. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
S.S. Central America, sunk in 1857 off North Carolina
450. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1821 JF, mintmark BA with dots below and in front of A, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Central America Shipwreck Label). Re-
strepo-157.4; KM-C6. Scarce early Republic of Colombia type that was legal
tender in the United States up until February 1857 and represents the pocket change held by actual passengers aboard the SS Central America. Quite circulated (About Fine) with some hairlines from post-salvage cleaning but no major corrosion from its time underwater, legends on both sides quite bold. NGC #2135488-002. Estimate: $1,000-up.
451. FRANCE, Paris mint, 5 francs, Louis Philippe I, 1846A, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Central America Shipwreck Label). Gad-678; KM-749.1. Bold AU with patchy surface corrosion on
obverse interspersed with areas of strong luster, the reverse grainy but with clear design including date and mintmark. NGC #2135488-030. Estimate: $500-$750.
452. MEXICO, Zacatecas, 4 reales, 1842 OM, large letters variety, NGC Shipwreck Effect (SS Central America Shipwreck Label). KM-375.9. Bold example of this unusual type from
the wreck (the first SSCA Mexico 4 reales we have offered), with XF details showing typical central flatness, the fields with minimal saltwater corrosion and just a few marks, mottled dark toning with a few golden patches. NGC #2135488-009. Estimate: $600-$900.

with only lightly sandwashed surfaces retaining considerable luster under rich, dark gold toning, desirably pedigreed to the “GordyAshley gold” find (but note that the NGC shipwreck label does not specify), somewhat rare as such. NGC #3509768-013. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 13, with original lot-tag 306 and photo-certificate. Estimate: $6,000-up.
S.S. Pewabic, sunk in 1865 off Thunder Bay Island, Michigan 454. GREAT BRITAIN, London, England, gold sovereign, Victoria (young head), 1852, very rare provenance, NGC AU 50 / Pewabic. Sp-3852; KM-736.1; Fr-387e. Brightly lustrous,
with only minor surface friction from circulation. The SS Pewabic, launched in 1863, was a Civil Warera freighter that traveled between Lake Superior and Lake Erie while hauling passengers and cargo (typically copper ingots from the northern mines). On August 9, 1865, the Pewabic’s sister ship SS Meteor collided with the Pewabic, which sank shortly thereafter with the loss of 100 to 125 passengers and crew. In 1917 many of the copper ingots were salvaged from the wreck along with artifacts and coins. A further salvage operation in 1974 by Busch Oceanographic Equipment Co. recovered more artifacts along with the purser’s safe, which, true to the purser’s word, contained less than $50 in paper money and no coins. The very few coins recovered from the Pewabic represent the rarest American shipwreck coins a collector can own when compared to those from the much more available SS Central America, SS Brother Jonathan, and SS Republic. NGC #3258497-003. Estimate: $2,000-up.

Pick-38b. The S.S. Politician shipwreck, also known as the “Whisky Galore” wreck, supplied local Hebrides islanders with bottles of whisky
and bundles of Jamaican bank notes for several weeks after running aground. This lightly handled example bears the typical staining around the edges while its design remains bold and colorful. PMG #2080561-003. Pedigreed to the Rickey Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $250-$375.

458. SEYCHELLES, Seychelles Monetary Authority, 100 rupees, (1979), serial A801118, PMG AU 55 / MV Aeolian Sky Shipwreck. Pick-26b. The M.V. Aeolian Sky was a Greek freighter that sank after a collision off Dorset, England, in 1979. The ship’s medical
bay held a consignment of Seychelles 100 rupees (now recognized as 26b by PMG) stored in nondescript boxes. After the sinking, the British government contracted salvage divers to enter the wreck and retrieve the notes, but the effort was unsuccessful. Reports state that while the bulk of the notes were never located, some fishermen in the area recovered a few notes from the Channel waters in the days after the sinking. A colorful note with only very mild handling around the edges. PMG #8082070-004. Estimate: $200-$300.

Whimsical design of blue-painted birds on outstretched wings with plants between them, flower petals around lip, background a matte white finish, intact, the wreck found and salvaged in the 1990s, with most of the porcelain sold at auction by Butterfields in 2000. From the “Hoi An Hoard” (late 1400s) with original VISAL inventory sticker 49998 and Sedwick photo-certificate. Estimate: $250-$375.

consists of two long, thin arms emanating from interlocking round tops rotating on a pin, a navigational device used to measure point-topoint distances on mariner’s charts. This artifact was among the first selected to be sold on behalf of major investors after the “Mother Lode” find of 1985, in the lesser-known “Caesar’s Palace” auction of 1987 in Las Vegas that preceded the larger Christie’s sale of June 1988 in New York. In fact these dividers (described in 1987 as “in good working condition) are very similar to a pair that sold as lot 18 in the Christie’s auction, touted as recovered from the same “pilot’s chest” in the wreck that no doubt yielded the present piece. Its rarity and importance are enhanced by an impressive display box. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate SR 1247, pedigreed to the Caesar’s Palace (Butterfield & Butterfield, Las Vegas) auction “Mel Fisher’s Treasures of the Atocha” of September 1987, with original lot-tag 203, housed in a padded glass-and-wood display box with brass latch. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.
464. Large and intact silver candlestick holder and hollow round base, marked with crown-in-beaded-circle tax stamp, ex-Atocha (1622), ex-Christie’s. 517 grams. 10” tall, 7” in diameter.
Impressively large and heavy silver candlestick holder, fully intact apart from minor splits, chips, and dents, consisting of a 7” long stem of graduated ring design screwed into a broad, tall, hollow circular base. The underside rim bears a faint but distinctive mark of a crown within a beaded circle. Surfaces are exceptionally well preserved for an artifact of this type, with minimal corrosion and attractive light toning throughout. The crown mark is particularly significant, as it closely matches tax marks found on 1649-52 Potosí cob 8 reales recovered from the Capitana (1654). A comparable crown mark is attributed to Lima, Peru, by Cristina Esteras Martín in Marcas de Platería Hispanoamericana, Siglos XVI-XX (1992). No doubt it was the mark of a Peruvian Caja Real (Royal Treasury Office) to show that tax had been paid or, in the case of the coins, that the silver was approved for re-circulation. While the original certificate is no longer present, this piece retains its Treasure Salvors inventory numbers 696 and 2061. A substantial and important silver artifact with an exceptional old auction pedigree. From the Atocha (1622), pedigreed to the original Christie’s Atocha auction of June 1988 (lot 66), with photocopies from catalog and printout from Fisher database, also pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 15 (lot 1526) and Auction 7 (lot 1859). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

Firearms
526. British double-barreled flintlock carriage pistol, Tatham & Egg, ca. 1801-15. 2.65 lbs. 14” overall, 8” barrel. High-quality original
example of a rare type of flintlock holster or carriage pistol by one of the best makers in the first decade of the 19th century, with “Tatham & Egg” engraved on lock plates and deeply sunken gold makers’ hallmarks at breech of each barrel. Tower of London private proof marks are visible on top of the stock in an oval cartouche. The barrels retain much of their original brown-striped finish, now mixing with brown patina, the locks with very crisp action and the steel mountings in superior condition, with a nice even gray patina and only negligible pitting, the trigger guard retaining most of its original dark-blue finish, and the stock with checkering on grips showing minimal handling marks, almost like new condition. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
527. British light dragoon flintlock pistol, first type (1756-1770). 2.1 lb. 17” long, 10” barrel. This very rare first type British dragoon
flintlock pistol was originally designed and crafted by the Royal Armory in 1756 before being superseded in 1759 by the shorter plain version with a 9-inch barrel. During the American Revolutionary War, both British cavalry troops as well as mounted Loyalist units were armed with one to two pistols each, which may have included the earlier first type. The lock bears a large engraved crown over GR (representing either George II or George III), a small crown over broad arrow (the British Board of Ordnance mark for government arms), and TOWER engraved on the tail of the lock plate. The barrel is stamped at the breech with a small crown over GR and a small crown over crossed scepters (both Board of Ordnance proof marks associated with the Royal Armory), along with a small crown over the numeral 4 near the touch-hole, indicating a government-arm viewer’s mark. The stock bears the Ordnance storekeeper’s mark of a crown over intertwined GR initials and the date 1786, which records the date of inventory or storage rather than manufacture. The wooden ramrod is a replacement, but it is an exact reproduction, including the correct brass tip. Eye-appealing condition with just normal wear and crisp functional action, the barrel with shallow but negligible pitting, the wood stock with very minor wear marks including a tiny chip towards the back of the lock, excellent brass mounts. Purchased from N. Flayderman & Co. of New Milford, CT in 1968. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

British forces during the French and Indian War as well as the American Revolutionary War. The lock bears a large engraved crown over GR, representing George II, along with a small crown over broad arrow, the British Board of Ordnance mark for government arms. The tail is engraved VERNON over 1759. The barrel is stamped at the breech with a small crown over GR and an arrow, as well as a small crown over crossed scepters, both recognized as Board of Ordnance proof marks associated with the Royal Armory at the Tower of London. A crown over intertwined GR is stamped into the stock wrist near the rear of the lock, serving as a Board of Ordnance storekeeper’s mark. The pistol retains its original brass-tipped wooden ramrod. Very nice condition with normal wear, functional lock and trigger, the walnut wood bearing some small marks including two chips on the lock along with two thin cracks toward the front neatly reinforced with glue, the barrel possessing mild surface spots yet otherwise quite nice for the age. Purchased from N. Flayderman & Co. of New Milford, CT in 1970. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Militaria
532. Lot of 51 small iron chainmail links, Spanish colonial, early to mid-1500s, found in New Mexico ca. 1985. 13 grams total. According to the accompanying letter, these chainmail links were

Coronado was searching for the fabled Seven Cities of Gold, but instead encountered a dozen villages, or pueblos, like this one, peopled by Tiwa-speaking natives, who became known generally as Pueblo Indians. Brecheisen’s recoveries at the site included several pieces of “plata corriente” (some in this same auction) and other Spanish items from the early to mid-1500s.

545.

Professionally and ornately matted and framed
hand-colored map of the Lesser Antilles, Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, the Bahamas, the upper reaches of South America, and the tip of Florida, from the Atlas curieux ou Le Monde representé dans des cartes generales et particulieres, a rare first edition per the certificate of authentication affixed to the back. Estimate: $600-$900.
546. Dutch copperplate-engraved map of the northern Caribbean entitled “Jonathan Dickensons Ramspoedige Reystogt van Jamaika na Pensylvania nagespoord” (Leyden), by Pieter van der Aa, undated (1706), very rare, hand colored, matted and framed. 20” x 18”. Professionally and beauti-
fully matted and framed, a hand-colored sideways engraving of Florida and the Eastern Seaboard, Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. This map accompanied a 1707 Dutch version of Jonathan Dickinson’s journal. Historians and South Floridians should recognize the saga of Jonathan Dickinson, a Jamaican merchant on his way to a new life in Philadelphia with his family in 1696, after the great Port Royal earthquake of 1692 left them in ruins, who ended up shipwrecked off Jupiter Island on the southeast coast of Florida in 1696 and held captive by the Jobe (Hobe) natives before escaping to St. Augustine up the coast, his name now attached to South Florida’s largest state park, in the vicinity of Hobe Sound. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.
547. British map of the Manila Galleon passage by George Anson entitled “A Chart of the Channel in the Philippine Islands through which the Manila Galeon passes with a Map of Manila Island,” engraved by Richard William Seale, 1763, hand colored and matted. Outside mat
16½” x 14½”, image 10¼” x 8½”. This 1763 chart of the Philippines, based on George
Anson’s voyage around the world, maps the Manila-Acapulco galleon route from the Mole of Cavite through the islands of Luzon, Mindoro, Marinduque, Burias, Tiaco, Capul, and San Bernardino, to the open waters north of Samar, identified here as “Samal.” Originally hand colored, the chart illustrates British knowledge of the Spanish-controlled archipelago and, more importantly, their naval routes. The marked track culminates near Samar, where Anson captured the Nuestra Señora de Covadonga in 1743, laden with silver. The stylized, blocky coastlines also reveal the limitations of contemporary European geographic knowledge of the Philippines. First published as one of three charts accompanying Anson’s highly successful 1748 Voyage round the World, the map became an important visual record of the Manila galleon trade and British naval activity in the region. Nice condition with bold ink colors, two small internal tears at center, tear and tape repair on bottom right corner. Estimate: $500-$750.

Paintings 549. Original oil-on-canvas painting of pirate Bartholomew “Black Bart” Roberts by Rick Reeves (1994), signed and dated, framed. 29” x
25”. “Vivid color and impeccable detail” is the only way
we can think of to describe this beautiful portrait by the now-famous Rick Reeves, whose pirate portraits are in high demand. Every single “treasure” you could associate with pirates is present in this beach scene: cannon and cannonballs, flintlock musket and pistols, dagger and rapier, “onion” bottles, clay pipe, treasure chest, just to name a few. A pirate galley is moored in the background, flying the first flag associated with this particular rogue, a Welshman of the early 1700s who is famous for having captured more prizes (over 470) than any other pirate of his time, his death in battle in 1722 marking the end of the Golden Age of Piracy and fulfilling his self-stated mantra: “a merry life and a short one shall be my motto.” The attention to detail in this painting is truly mind-boggling in its accuracy and thoroughness. A distressed wood frame in black-and-gold completes the package. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 4 (lot 1096). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Mexico Silver Cobs Charles-Joanna, “Early Series” 576. MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer Latin R (Rincón) at bottom between pillars, rare. Nesmith-6; Cal-115; S-M1; KM-16. 10.50 grams. Broad flan with full legends (mostly bold), some heavy corrosion
as from salvage but the source wreck unknown, clear assayer R below PLVS in rounded banner, VF details with toning. With Sedwick photo-certificate. Estimate: $500-$750.
577. MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P at bottom between pillars, very rare, NGC XF 40, ex-“Golden Fleece Wreck” (ca. 1550) Research Collection. Nesmith-6d type; Cal-118; S-M4;
KM-17. 13.1 grams. An impressive example of its kind with handsome deep gray toning, full legends and well struck interiors, minor edge crack. One of seven known of this type with the assayer letter P punched over an erased R beneath a rhomboid panel (that type of panel became the norm on coins struck under the three assayers after R) and a die match to the last coins struck under assayer R’s tenure, thus providing a nice link between assayers. NGC label does not reflect the over-assayer nor the connection to the “Golden Fleece Wreck” (ca. 1550). NGC #4333276-030. Pedigreed to the “Golden Fleece Wreck” (ca. 1550) Research Collection (Sedwick Auction 4, lot 184). Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.
578. MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with one annulet in each side, rare, PCGS VF25. Nesmith-26 for type; Cal-123; S-M4; KM-17. 13.45 grams. Rich chocolate toning all over,
full legends and interiors, natural indention in edge, the shield side especially attractive with unusual legend ending of REG, desirable as a straight-graded example of this rare type. PCGS #53633470. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Sedwick Auction 40
579. MEXICO, Mexico City, 3 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Early Series,” assayer Gothic R (Rincón) at bottom between pillars, no waves, three-dots denomination, crown outside beads, very rare, PCGS XF45, finest and only example in PCGS census. Nesmith-unl; Cal-112; S-M1; KM-13. 10.06 grams. Struck only from April of 1536 to early 1538 at the latest (and only under assayer
Rincón), the 3 reales was deemed too close in size and value to the 2 reales, but ironically most specimens are broader in denomination than the 4 reales that replaced them, so these coins are rare and special. Despite some rotated doubling, this choice example shows full legends—note the almost all-Gothic lettering with the exception of the final M on the pillars side, which stands out among all the other Gothic letters—and full interior elements, the Gothic R assayer a bit indistinct but the three-dots denomination and PLVSVLT in rounded banner reasonably clear. Also worth noting is the rare legend ending on the shield side as Gothic DE, which many interpret as the beginning of DEI GRATIA. This coin is also attractively toned and particularly rare as straight-graded, in fact the finest graded by either PCGS or NGC for the three-dots variety. PCGS #65815793. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of July 1999, lot 898. Estimate: $20,000-up.
Charles-Joanna, “Late Series”
580. MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Late Series,” assayer G to right, mintmark M to left (M-G), king’s name as CHAROLVS. Nesmith-50; Cal-125; S-M5; KM-18. 13.37
grams. Silvery and evenly toned XF, full legends and interiors, flan some-
what undulating around edges, a desirable earlier type from this assayer with the king’s name spelled as CHAROLVS. Estimate: $500-$750.
581. MEXICO, Mexico City, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, “Late Series,” assayer A to left, mintmark M to right (A-M), NGC AU 53. Nesmith-62 type; Cal-132; S-M6; KM-18. 13.05 grams. High grade for the type, with muted luster under light toning, minor staining on well-centered shield side, the pillars slightly off center, all on a broad flan with full legends and interiors. NGC #4427728-087. Estimate: $500-$750.

Session III - November 5, 2026, 6:00 PM EST
Special Collection of Odd-Shaped Mexican Cobs Coins are not always round, and Mexican cobs of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries provide some of the most dramatic examples. As Daniel Sedwick described in his “Straps for Cash” article, their blanks were produced from silver poured onto a flat surface in a long strap, or riel, allowed to spread and cool naturally, then cut into individual planchets. The cut edges and sharp points were subsequently hammered down before striking, creating the irregular curves, angles, indentations, projections, and other distinctive forms characteristic of Mexican cobs. The end pieces of these silver straps could be especially unusual. Formed over more than fifteen years, this collection was built specifically around those naturally created mint shapes. Rather than collecting only by date, assayer, or variety, the emphasis was placed on the style and silhouette of each flan and on the unusual forms produced through the pouring, cutting, hammering, and striking process. Certain pieces retain natural flowing edges from the original silver strap, while others display dramatic cuts, hammered points, deep indentations, unusual projections, or openings created during the cooling of the silver. The collection ranges from ½ real through 8 reales, with the great majority being 8 reales, and is centered exclusively on Mexico City issues of Charles II and Philip V. Many examples also carry important shipwreck, hoard, countermark, date, die-variety, and/or pedigree associations. An S1 through S4 classification in the code for each coin number was developed by the collector to describe the relative rarity and distinctiveness of the different shape styles, with S4 representing the most dramatic or complex forms. Together, the coins represent a specialized study of the remarkable natural shapes created by the historic production methods of the Mexico City mint.

Cal-unl (Type 165). 26.60 grams. Interesting coin with characteristic lions and

and +8+ flanking well-detailed shield (the +’s being crosses fleury), slightly doubled full cross with fairly clear 32 of date, non-toned XF+ with edge split. Paoletti (who calls the cross fleury “St Andrews cross” in error) shows an example of this 1632 issue as number 189 but does not mention the ornaments because they are not visible on his coin, and for a long time researchers believed this special ornament was only known on issues of 1630 and 1631, whereas the present coin proves that the crosses fleury lasted a year longer, perhaps only in the form of the marriage of a new 1632 reverse with an obverse from 1631 (as the erstwhile cross fleury after the date is not visible on this coin). Estimate: $350-$500.

699. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, assayer not visible (mid-1640s), “furry” lions, NGC VF details / environmental damage. KM-19a; Cal-Type 327. 25.65 grams. Somewhat

Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

details in the full shield and nearly full but slightly off-center cross, fairly clear 647 of date in larger numbers in legend (hence probably assayer Z, albeit not visible), a couple peripheral flat spots and edge split. Estimate: $350-$500.

Choice, Royal-like interior details (complete and minimally doubled) plus lots of legend, but with clearly non-Royal edge (non-round and with small cracks), yet rather broad, extending past the outer border on the slightly off-center full shield side (also slightly doubled), enabling a complete king’s name and ordinal PHILIPPVS IIII, variety with three dots above F-8-III and two dots below the 8, full date in legend, particularly rare as non-salvage (shows as “top pop” in NGC but only because it is not fully attributed as “3 line E.E” as it should be). NGC #8913922-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
729. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 1 real, 1652 E, Transitional McLean Type II. S-P37;
KM-B13.2; Cal-748. 2.52 grams. Cute turnip shape with full and bold pillars-and-waves and clear
F-I-IIII and E-I-E, off-center shield with bold O-E-2 to right, most of crown above, contrastingly toned VF. Estimate: $125-$200.
Pillars and Waves 730. BOLIVIA, Potosí, denomination set of 8-4-2-1-½ reales, 1688 VR, ex-Sellschopp. S-P39. 52.07 grams total. Date-matched de-
nomination sets are very hard to assemble these days, and many of the Sellschopp sets like this one have been long since broken up. What stands out most in this one is the 4 reales, with three dates and choice full cross, but all the other denominations also have multiple dates (yes, even the ½ real) and nice details, the average grade being VF, with generally attractive toning, a premium set even without the famous pedigree. Pedigreed the Sellschopp collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1988, lot 810) and to Sedwick Auction 10, with original lot-tag 789, also Sedwick Auction 16, with original lot-tag 617. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.
731. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales “quasi-Royal,” 1656 E, PH at top, denomination •8• above cross, NGC VF details / environmental damage. S-P37a; KM-21; Cal-1513. 27.39 grams.
Very broad and nearly round flan with lots of legend including full four-digit date, but with slightly uneven edge, full and well-centered pillars-and-waves and cross-castles-lions, curious variety with main date showing a very small (2R-sized) digit 5 above the waves and large 6 within the waves, three dates overall, good contrast from dark toning in crevices, also with trace of encrustation near edge. NGC #8913922005. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Cal-unl (Type 334). 26.11 grams. Choice full cross-castles-lions, very bold
full waves and complete pillars with doubling at top left, all three dates and mintmarks and assayers visible, VF with contrasting toning. Note: Both dates on pillars side look like possible overdates, but we cannot make out the under-digit, which does not appear to be a 6. Pedigreed to the Trastámara Collection (Aureo & Calicó auction of May 2017, with original lot-tag 556). Estimate: $400-$600.
735. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales, 1658 E, pomegranate at top on both sides. S-P37a; KM-21; Cal-1520. 28.20 grams. Good full
pillars and (double-struck) waves with full POTOSI in legend, full but partially flat cross due to uneven thickness (some old marks in flat areas), all three dates and mintmarks and assayers visible, VF with traces of toning in crevices,. Estimate: $500-$750.

ment), with well-centered full pillars-and-waves (slightly doubled) and cross-castles-lions, three dates including full 1658 in legend, surely one of the finest known (worthy of a higher grade, in our opinion). PCGS #50313680. Pedigreed to the S.P. Rutherford Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.
736. BOLIVIA, Potosí, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1659 E, rare, NGC XF details / holed. S-P37a; KM-R21; Cal-1425. 26.74
grams. Very choice example on a broad flan extending past the outer
border on the cross side, with typically complete details throughout (including the crowns and legends) and clear solid inner rings per the date (for galano dies only), an exact die match with Lázaro 159 (R3), also with lovely old patina and practically no doubling, holed to right of the cross / near top of pillars, very pretty and of a quality that is in high demand at present. NGC #8912929-001. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of March 1996 (lot 1145). Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

pl. XXV, 12. Persian king or hero, wearing kidaris and kandys, quiver over shoulder, in kneeling-
running stance right, holding spear in right hand and bow in left / Incuse punch. Very early coinage with a modicum of design, well centered in oblong shape. The Achaemenid series began in the late sixth century BC and lasted until Alexander the Great conquered Persia in the 330s BC. The term “daric” was used by the Greeks as a term for Persian coinage, particularly gold, and its name derives from the Persian king Darius I, under whom the Persian coinage began. The daric was one of the earliest coins used by the Jewish people and appears in Bible references. NGC #1943235-045. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

right, wearing tainia / Horse prancing right; below raised foreleg, one-handled skyphos (cup) below; AMΦIKTYΩN below; all within wreath. Stephanophoric refers to the wreath border on the reverse and this style became popular around the eastern Aegean soon after Athens introduced the type as the now-named “New Style” tetradrachms. The engraved dies created a somewhat convex obverse and concave reverse and the coins became especially popular in the city-states of Aeolis-Myrina, Aeolis-Kyme, and Magnesia ad Maeandrum. NGC #3807912-011. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

Choice strike and important piece of history as, in 44 BC, Brutus conspired with others to slay the tyrant Julius Caesar.

Pedigreed to the Empire Coins auction of November 1986, with original lot-tag 279. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.
Roman Empire
792. ANCIENT ROMAN, Roman Empire, AV aureus, Nero, 54-68 AD, NGC XF / strike 5/5, surface 4/5 (brushed). RIC 52; BMCRE 67; Cohen
118. 7.37 grams. Laureate head right / IVPPITER CVSTOS, Jupiter seated left, holding
thunderbolt and scepter. This reverse type commemorates the protection of Nero from the Pisonian Conspiracy. Events of the years 64-65 defined the subsequent reputation of Nero as a cruel and self-indulgent ruler. His “excesses” resulted in a conspiracy to overthrow and replace him with Gaius Calpurnius Piso. Among the conspirators were many high-ranking members of Nero’s court including Seneca the Younger, the poet Lucan, and Petronius, who called himself Nero’s “arbiter of elegance.” To Nero, the failure of a conspiracy made up of those so close to him could have been achieved only through divine intervention. As the king of the Gods oversaw the security of the Roman state, Nero believed it was Jupiter the Guardian (Custos) who had saved him from harm. This example is well centered and rosy gold in color. NGC #6710964-002. Estimate: $9,000-$13,500.

Estimate: $250-$375.

Attractively toned and exceptionally complete example of this very rare type, boldly struck with denomination 2 above full RIOXA and date with A to right within pillars above waves, below which is a rarely seen rosette, with full castles and lions contained in a bold cross on reverse showing the letters S L R A at the cardinal points. Some traces of encrustation removal are present, along with fine scratches around the cross, a typical surface disturbance for imitation cobs. Contrary to other Argentine imitation issues of the period, these La Rioja pieces were struck in comparatively high fineness. The A to the right of the date is attributed to Anguinán, in the Chilecito district of La Rioja, right next to the silver mines in the Famatina mountain. Following the Spanish recovery of Potosí in 1815, the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata suffered a severe shortage of coined money, increasing interest in the silver resources of Famatina. Under Nicolás Dávila, coin production in the region became more systematic between 1821 and 1823. According to Mariano Cohen’s study in the 2016 book Monedas Argentinas de Emergencia 1815–1823, by Fernando Chao (h), Mariano Cohen, Roberto E. Díaz, and Emilio Paoletti, the S A L R appearing on this coin stands for Sud América La Rioja. Estimate: $3,500-up.

842. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III (“rat nose” bust), 1768 A, upright assayer, very rare, NGC AU details / harshly cleaned, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-2139; KM-25; Fr-11.
26.80 grams. Bright yellow gold with strong remaining detail throughout,
particularly on the reverse, where the crowned arms, Golden Fleece collar, outward-facing mintmark and assayer A (as opposed to the earlier inverted-A variety) are all full and sharp, the rims incomplete due to inexact centering, and the obverse (only) a bit striated from cleaning (as noted by NGC), but with important and desirable pedigree. Curiously, this assayer variety appears to be even rarer than the inverted-A and A-over-inverted-A varieties, as the correction took place late in the year, confirmed by a lack of recent auction appearances and the fact that this is the only example certified by either NGC or PCGS. NGC #2192519-002. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 107). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.
843. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1782/71 DA, NGC AU 50 (Colección Val y Mexía Label), ex-Segarra. Cal-2165; KM-27; Fr-15. 26.94 grams. Bright yellow luster with
very little wear (if any) and minimal marks, light adjustment marks to right of bust, close to MS in our opinion, but in any case a rather desirable example of this scarce overdate variety among a mintage of 40,000 for the year. NGC #8797572-001. Pedigreed to the Segarra Collection (stated on label) and to the Val y Mexía Collection. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
844. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1783 DA, NGC AU 55, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-2168;
KM-27; Fr-15. 26.80 grams. Choice bold details, the reverse well centered
but the obverse slightly off center, still with nearly full rim detail, with every feature of the portrait strong and with excellent luster and rich gold color, lots of eye appeal for the type, from a reported mintage of just 34,000 coins, also well pedigreed. NGC #2192519-003. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 119). Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
185
Sedwick Auction 40 845. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1788 DA, NGC AU 53. Cal-2177; KM-27; Fr-15. Bold details with lovely
red toning over luster inside of strong rims (incomplete due to slightly off-center strike), fairly low mintage (42,000 struck), with only light high-point friction and scattered minor handling marks. NGC #565301007. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.
846. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1789 DA, NGC AU 58. Cal-1751; KM-42; Fr-19. 27.03 grams. Rich gold color with
choice red toning over strong luster, sharply defined portrait (with small natural pit on cheek) and bold legends, minimal wear on highest points, desirable first year of the transitional type. NGC #2192519-001. Pedigreed to the Michel Dürr and Roland Michel (Geneva) auction of November 1999, lot 64. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
847. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1789 DA, NGC AU details / private countermark (Colección Val y Mexía Label). Cal-1751; KM-42; Fr-19. Rich gold color with beautiful
rainbow toning all over, choice strike with nearly full rims, a few light marks but also with a small, deeply impressed countermark below the denomination consisting of a cross inside a triangle, currently unattributed but apparently a contemporary merchant or goldsmith’s mark. This intriguing mark closely matches a divided-triangle countermark recorded on a 1794 Mexico City 8 escudos, likewise placed below the 8 on the reverse and certified by NGC as a private countermark. The appearance of what may be the same punch on gold coins from two different Spanish American mints suggests use by a merchant, goldsmith, banking house, or trading center involved in the circulation and verification of international gold, hence a compelling reminder that Spanish American gold circulated far beyond its mints of origin, passing through Caribbean trade networks and into the early United States, where merchants, goldsmiths, and banking houses all routinely tested, and in some cases marked, acceptable foreign gold for circulation. NGC #8789710-004. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexía Collection. Estimate: $5,000-up.
848. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles IV (bust of Charles III, ordinal IIII), 1802 JJ, PCGS AU 53. Cal-
1770; KM-54; Fr-23. Nice luster and rich gold color, with just a modicum of marks and only light high-point wear. PCGS #46439060. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.
849. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII (“admiral bust”), 1810 FJ, NGC AU 55 (Colección Val y Mexía Label). Cal-1863; KM-72; Fr-28. Exceptionally bold strike with
complete rims, strong luster (lightly polished) but no wear or major marks, desirable example of this ever-popular transitional type with distinctive bust attributable only to the Santiago mint. NGC #2947495004. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexía Collection. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
186
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST 850. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1814 FJ, NGC AU details / obv cleaned, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-1871; KM-78; Fr-29.
26.80 grams. Rich gold color with lovely red toning over lots of luster,
complete rims, trace of softness on bust with the field to right exhibiting minor lamination flaws and less toning (minor cleaning), from a reported mintage of just 29,000 pieces. NGC #2192519-004. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 177). Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.
851. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles III, 1786 DA, very rare, NGC AU 50, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-1879; KM-33; Fr-16.
Choice strike with full rims, excellent luster, just some wear on bust and minor lamination flaws on reverse, from a very low mintage of just 697 pieces, rarely offered, particularly in high grade such as this coin. NGC #8227368009. Estimate: $3,500-up.
852. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles III, 1788 DA, very rare, PCGS XF45, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1882; KM-33;
Fr-16. Choice luster and nearly full rims, just some wear and light marks on bust (arguably AU, but still finer than the best at NGC at XF 40), a highly desirable “finest known” example of this terminal date of Charles III in this denomination with a reported mintage of just 1,020 pieces, clearly an important opportunity for the advanced Chilean colonial gold collector. PCGS #47803580. Estimate: $3,500-up.
853. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1796 DA, rare, PCGS AU55, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1566; KM-62; Fr-26. Choice luster,
great strike with full rims, just a little weakness in center on reverse and light wear on bust, also with 15-degree rotation in obverse/reverse axis, from a reported mintage of 6,970 pieces, with very few examples appearing in the modern auction record, this being the sole straight-graded example recorded by either PCGS or NGC. A significant opportunity for the advanced Chilean gold specialist. PCGS #44855407. Estimate: $3,500-up.
187
Sedwick Auction 40
854. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1797 DA, rare, PCGS VF20, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1567; KM-62; Fr-26.
Deeply red toned with lighter high points exhibiting honest, even wear, from a reported mintage of only 5,950 pieces and notably missing in certified condition (none at NGC) except for this single piece from PCGS, also without any recent auction appearances. PCGS #45796095. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.
855. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1799 DA, very rare, PCGS AU50, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Godoy. Cal-1569;
KM-62; Fr-26. Rich gold color, with only minor
flaws and marks and wear on bust, from a reported mintage of just 2,754 pieces and to our knowledge one of only two in the auction record of the past several decades, also the only certified example known to us, another important opportunity for the Chilean specialist. PCGS #44855408. Pedigreed to the Godoy Collection (Aureo auction of March 2004, lot 443). Estimate: $4,000-up.
856. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1800 AJ, extremely rare, PCGS AU53, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1571; KM-62;
Fr-26. Light gold color, very sharply detailed
with nice luster and impressively complete rims, from a very low reported mintage of just 646 pieces, the sole example certified by PCGS, tying the Caballero de las Yndias specimen certified in the same grade by NGC, these two being the only examples appearing at auction in the past few decades. PCGS #44855409. Estimate: $4,000-up.
188
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST 857. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1806 FJ/JF, extremely rare, PCGS VF30, finest and only example in PCGS census.
Cal-1577; KM-62; Fr-26. Bold details due to outlining toning, the bust slightly weak, with honest even wear all over, light yellow color, from a reported mintage of just 204 pieces, of which this is the only one straight-graded by either PCGS or NGC regardless of the over-assayer (which PCGS did not recognize anyway), the only other one we know of being tooled around a large lamination on reverse. PCGS #45750026. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.
858. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles IV, 1808/7 FJ, rare, PCGS XF45, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1579; KM-62; Fr-26. Choice bold strike with strong rims and luster, very light high-point wear (arguably AU), from a reported mintage of just 1,207 coins for this final year of Charles IV, the only example at PCGS and clearly superior to NGC’s only entry rated VF details, with a couple other damaged specimens seen in recent auction records. PCGS #45796096. Estimate: $3,000-up.
859. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 4 escudos, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1817 FJ, extremely rare, NGC AU 50, finest known in NGC census, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-1739; KM-77; Fr-31. 13.66 grams. Rich gold color with delicate reddish
toning over underlying luster, full rims and bold peripheral details and date, some characteristic central softness but considerably stronger overall detail than usually seen for this rare issue, with a reported five or six examples known, only two of which are graded. Finest graded at either NGC or PCGS, the next finest at NGC being VF 30, further enhanced by its distinguished Norweb pedigree. Just 68 pieces are reported for 1817, although production continued in subsequent years under the Republic, apparently retaining the 1817 date and colonial design. NGC #2192519-005. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 169). Estimate: $6,000-up.
189
Sedwick Auction 40
860. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 2 escudos, Ferdinand VI (bust of Philip V), 1758 J, extremely rare, NGC AU 53, finest known in NGC census, ex-Segarra, KM Plate. Cal-687; KM-11; Fr-6a. NGC #8227363-003. A famous and important Chilean rarity, struck in just one date and only with the bust of the previous king, this example quite lovely with deep red toning over luster, light high-point wear and slightly off-center strike, but undeniably the finest known, in fact one of only three in existence among a reported mintage of 443 pieces. The other two are as follows: 1. The Norweb specimen (auctioned by Spink America in 1997), a holed coin believed to be the only other example in the NGC census (XF details), with published pedigrees dating back to Rafael González’s 1908 work Colección Completa de Monedas de Chile 2. The José Toribio Medina specimen, plated in his 1919 works Manual Ilustrado de Numismática Chilena: La Colonia, and Las Monedas Coloniales Hispanoamericanas, now permanently held in the collection of the Banco de Chile The present coin, plated in the KM references, is the Fernando Segarra specimen, originating from the Superior auction of December 1990, where it was pictured on the catalog cover, subsequently appearing in auctions by Ponterio, Cayón, and Sedwick. In practical terms, this is the only desirably collectible example of the three known, since the Norweb specimen is heavily impaired and the Medina specimen is institutionally held and unavailable to the market. Only one person can own it. Pedigreed to the Segarra Collection (stated on label) and the Superior auction of December 1990 (lot 38), also Sedwick Auction 9 (lot 90), and Plate Coin in the KM Standard Catalog references. Estimate: $25,000-up.
861. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles III, 1777/6 DA, very rare, PCGS VF20, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-unl (Type 160); KM-unl; Fr-17. Broad flan with bold
overdate, bright luster and very light in color, only minor marks and even wear, arguably equivalent to the only other example we have seen in recent decades that was NGC VF 25 but has since left the census. Neither Calicó nor KM list any dates between 1774 and 1782 (let alone this overdate). Note: The PCGS label states “2 R” (silver) in error, but their census has no entries for 2 escudos. PCGS #47281314. Estimate: $2,000-up.
190
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST 862. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1789 DA, very rare, NGC VF 30. Cal-1405; KM-40; Fr-21. Broad flan with full rims, rich gold color, well struck and evenly circulated with just some light scuffs on bust, from a reported mintage of just 1,632 pieces, notably rarer than the Charles III version for this year, one of just two in the NGC census (the other XF 40) with none at PCGS. NGC #1528600-032. Estimate: $1,500-up.
863. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV (bust of Charles III), 1801 AJ, very rare, PCGS XF40, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1417; KM-53; Fr-24.
Light yellow and bright with luster, bold strike with full rims and a few marks but minimal wear, from a remarkably low mintage of just 680 pieces, this being the finest certified as the only one at PCGS with two at NGC in VF 20 and VF 30, also surely the finest of just three examples sold at auction in recent decades. PCGS #45796094. Estimate: $3,000-up.
864. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV (bust of Charles III), 1807 FJ, extremely rare, PCGS AU55, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1424; KM-53; Fr-24. Very choice strike and luster, with complete rims and lovely yellow color, from a remarkably low mintage of just 340 pieces, the only entry in the PCGS census with none at NGC, and also none appearing in recent auction records. PCGS #47281316. Estimate: $3,000-up.
865. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 2 escudos, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1813 FJ, extremely rare, PCGS F15, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-1660; KM-81;
Fr-31a. Rich gold color with bold rims and nice reverse, the bust rather
flat (as made) and lightly circulated (more like VF net to our eyes, but at least straight-graded), in any case one of very few known among a recorded mintage of just 1,020 pieces, the only one at NGC being AU details. PCGS #45202532. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
866. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1779 DA, rare, NGC MS 62, “top pop.” Cal-1486; KM-26; Fr-18.
Brightly lustrous in light yellow gold with all details sharply struck and well preserved, particularly the complete rims, re-punched 9 in date, from a reported mintage of just 6,324 pieces, one of just two entries in the NGC census (both at this exceptional grade) with none at PCGS. NGC #8227368-001. Pedigreed to the Ira & Larry Goldberg auction of May 2007 (lot 4252). Estimate: $3,500-up.
191
Sedwick Auction 40
867. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1783/2 DA, very rare, PCGS XF45, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-unl (cf 1490); KM-unl (26 for type); Fr-18. Bright yel-
low color and luster, with strong full rims and reverse, the bust a little weakly struck but minimally worn (looks more like AU), bold overdate 3/2 but not noted by PCGS, in any case from a reported mintage of just 2,584 pieces, of which this is the only entry for the date at PCGS with none at NGC, just one other example recorded within the past several decades. PCGS #47803578. Pedigreed to the Cayón auction of February 2023 (lot 508). Estimate: $2,500-up.
868. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1784/3 DA, very rare, NGC XF 45, finest known in NGC census, ex-Caballero. KM-26. Rich gold color with choice luster
and rims, the central elements slightly weak or possibly lightly worn (arguably AU), bold overdate, from a reported mintage of just 3,264 pieces for the date, by far the finer of just two at NGC (the other being F 12) with none at PCGS, also with notable pedigree. NGC #8227368007. Pedigreed to the Caballero de Yndias Collection (stated on label) and the Aureo & Calicó auction of April 2009 (lot 60). Estimate: $2,500-up.
870. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1791/0 DA, very rare, NGC VF 35, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-unl (cf 1227); KM-unl (52 for type); Fr-unl. Light luster, good
strike with full rims, moderate marks and high-point wear per the grade, the 1/0 overdate quite evident and important as establishing that the Charles IV transitional type continued to 1791 (contrary to KM and Fr), this being the sole example in the NGC census (none at PCGS) in addition to a clean-date 1791 with HSIP error in UNC details grade. NGC #8227368-005. Estimate: $2,000-up.
871. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1801 AJ, extremely rare, NGC VF 30, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-1240; KM-61;
Fr-27. Full details including broad rims, the portrait bold for the grade, all in an aged yellow color, the sole numerically graded example in the NGC census with none graded by PCGS, from a reported mintage of just 1,088 pieces, of which we can find no auction appearances in the past few decades, perhaps all the way back to 1997 when this coin was sold in Norweb. It is interesting to note that the 8 escudos and 2 escudos of this period continued to use the Charles III bust while the 4 escudos and 1 escudos (like this one) were given the proper portrait of Charles IV. NGC #2192519-006. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 128). Estimate: $1,500-up.
869. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1788 DA, very rare, NGC VF 30, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-1495; KM-26; Fr-18. Rich gold color with light ton-
ing, slightly irregular edge with bold rims (extra metal at 9 o’clock on obverse rim), weakly struck bust, final year of Charles III type, from a reported mintage of just 3,672 pieces, the sole example certified by NGC with none at PCGS. NGC #8227368-006. Estimate: $2,000-up.
192
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST 872. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles IV, 1808 FJ, rare, PCGS AU55, finest known in PCGS census. Cal-1249; KM-61; Fr-27. Fabulously lustrous and well struck with full rims and virtually no wear (should be MS), just a typically lightly struck bust and adjustment marks on reverse, the final year of the type, from a reported mintage of just 2,448 pieces, the finer of only two straight-graded examples in the PCGS census with none at NGC (just a couple in Details grades), an impressively flashy coin to be sure. PCGS #47669514. Estimate: $2,000-up.
873. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1817 FJ, NGC VF details / cleaned, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-1571; KM-76; Fr-32. Lovely red ton-
ing, full but slightly crude rims, the anachronistic portrait of Charles IV a bit weakly struck and showing faint hairlines, from a reported mintage of just 22,000 coins. NGC #2192519-008. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 167). Estimate: $500-$750.
874. CHILE, Santiago, gold bust 1 escudo, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1817 JF, mintmark and assayers transposed, NGC AU details / obv scratched, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Cal-1572; KM-76; Fr-32. Well-detailed strike (especially
the off-center reverse) in warm gold color, the obverse with minor die crack and lamination flaws but also an old scratch across the penultimate digit of the date, from a reported mintage of just 22,000 coins. Note: NGC calls this simply assayer JF, but it was actually an engraving error in which the assayer and mintmark were punched into the die in reverse order, rendering assayer FJ as JF. NGC #2192519-007. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 167). Estimate: $500-$750.
Chile (colonial) - Busts
875. CHILE, Santiago, bust 8 reales, Charles III, 1787 DA, rare, NGC XF details / spot removals (Colección Val y Mexía Label). Cal-1223; KM-31. Rather bold full details including rims (a few die cracks), patchy steely toning with a few areas of luster where cleaned long ago, the strike alone worthy of serious consideration for this rare early type, of which only 183,000 were struck for this date (but most melted). NGC #8789710-001. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexía Collection. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
876. CHILE, Santiago, bust 8 reales, Charles III, 1788 DA, rare, NGC AU 50 (Colección Val y Mexía Label). Cal-1224;
KM-31. Lustrous with hairlines overlain with light gold toning, full rims, mild high-point wear on central elements, final date of rare early type with a mintage of 187,000 pieces (most melted), sole second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 62. NGC #8789710-002. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexía Collection. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Choice rare grade, with very light rainbow toning over luster, faint hairlines in open fields. NGC #8902085-003.

880. CHILE, Santiago, bust 8 reales, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1789 DA, very rare, NGC XF 45. Cal-1016; KM-39. Well-centered strike on a broad flan with
full rims, choice rainbow toning over luster, one of only three examples in the NGC census for this elusive first date of the three-year Charles IV transitional type. NGC #8913922-007. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
Obverse with bust of Charles IV with NAZAUAL.F at base, 1789 in exergue, within legend [rosette] CAROLUS IV HISPANIARUM ET IND IMPERAT AUGUST; reverse with two natives tending a field with bird to right above exergue OMNIBUS CLEMENS | NAZAUAL INCIDIT, within legend [rosette] HIGINIUS PREAFECT CHIL PROCLAMIVIT IMPERIUM ET OBTULIT HOMAG POPUL AUST.

911. CHILE, Santiago, bust 1 real, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1817 FJ, PCGS AU details / cleaned. Cal-679; KM-

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
Chile (Republic) - countermarks
916. CHILE, La Serena, 4 reales, volcano-over-SER. countermark (1833) on an Argentina (Potosí) 4 reales, 1815 F, extremely rare, NGC FR 2 , c/s VF standard, ex-Brand (stated on label). KM-113. 12.29 grams. 32 mm. NGC #8913922-006. By decree of March 29, 1833, the newly established Chilean Treasury offices at Chiloé, Concepción, La Serena, Santiago, Valdivia, and Valparaíso were authorized to countermark the distinctive sunface coinage of the Argentine River Plate Provinces struck at the Potosí mint in 1813 and 1815, following an August 17, 1832, ban on the substandard-fineness La Rioja-mint issues of the 1820s in the same design, in order to allow the earlier coins to circulate. The corresponding Treasury abbreviations were CHIL., CON., SER., SAN., VALD. and VALP., each appearing under the Chilean volcano motif within a beaded circle. All six Treasury countermarks are very rare today. La Serena’s SER. countermark is the second most frequently encountered of the six Treasury marks, but the existence of a number of old false countermarks requires careful authentication. The genuine La Serena punches have been established through direct punch comparison, die study, and examination of important early pedigrees. At present, only six genuine SER. countermarks are recorded: three examples on 4 reales and two on 8 reales, plus a single-known example on a gold 8 escudos. The present 4-reales example carries an exceptional old provenance to the Virgil Brand Collection in the Schulman auction of November 1964, lot 3740. While the host coin is rather worn (Fair 2, in NGC’s estimation), the countermark is deeply impressed, with all features visible (VF), placed in the center of the host’s date arms side, which despite the wear exhibits a clear date 1815, assayer F, Potosí monogram mintmark, and denomination 4-R (not 4 soles as the NGC label states in error). The other side shows all the rays and legend, but the sunface itself is effaced by the application of the countermark, as it seems the Chilean authorities were intentionally trying to center the mark. Deep, colorful toning pervades throughout. Needless to say, this is a major rarity combining the first independent coinage of Argentina with one of Chile’s very rare official Treasury countermarks, an important coin for the specialists of both nations. Pedigreed to the Virgil Brand Collection (Schulman auction of November 1964, lot 3740). Estimate: $10,000-up.
Chile (Republic) 917. CHILE, Santiago, gold 8 escudos, 1843/2 IJ, reeded edge, NGC AU details / edge filing, ex-Norweb (stated on label). KM-
104.1; Fr-41. Choice red toning over ample luster, all details bold (including the overdate), the NGC-noted filing on edge not apparent to our eyes and also not mentioned in the Norweb catalog. NGC #2192519-009. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 219). Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.
201
Sedwick Auction 40 918. CHILE, Santiago, 8 reales, 1839 IJ, NGC AU 53. KM-96.1. Choice luster with light toning, sharp details including rims, just some light highpoint wear, a pleasing high-grade example of the scarce, brief, and popular early Republic “condor breaking chains” type that always brings a premium, from a reported mintage of 205,000 coins. NGC #8913922-020. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.
919. CHILE, Santiago, ½ real, 1848 JM, rare. KM-98.2. Off-center AU with richly toned fields, some luster, rather choice example of the rare key date of this series. Estimate: $500-up.
920. CHILE, Santiago, “condor” peso, 1882, PCGS MS63. KM-142.1. Brilliant cartwheel luster, no marks at all but with a wisp of friction on the high points. PCGS #49591581. Estimate: $250-$375.
China (Republic)
921. CHINA, Tientsin mint, Kuang-hsü dollar (7 mace 2 candareens, Qīng dynasty, no date (1908), PCGS AU details / cleaned. L&M-11; Kann-216; KM-Y14. Lightly toned, with only small
marks and faint hairlines, a popular one-year type that is scarce in any meaningful grade without problems, here with all the elements of the Tai-Ching-Ti-Kuo (“The Great Qing Empire”) quite sharp and clear. PCGS #62054868. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
922. CHINA, Zhílì (Chihli) province, Pei Yang Arsenal, Kuang-hsü dollar (7 mace 2 candareens), Qīng dynasty, Year 34 (1908), variety with crosslet 4 and fancy 3, PCGS VF details / chopmark. L&M-466; Kann-210; KM-Y73.4. Elusive variety
of the popular “dragon” dollar with obverse legend 34th YEAR OF KUANG HSU / PEI YANG around dragon with pearl at center, the reverse showing Manchu characters 造洋北 / 分二錢七平库 surrounding 光 / 寶 - 元 / 緒 within pearl circle, lightly toned, with a modicum of minor marks and one small punch (chopmark) between 3 and 4 on obverse. PCGS #62054867. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.
923. CHINA, “junk” dollar, Sun Yat-Sen, Year 22 (1933), NGC MS 61. L&M-109; Kann-623; KM-Y345. Brilliant cartwheel luster, with minimal bagmarks, traces of ink chopmark on reverse. NGC

atop a Chinese symbol of longevity, this example with very light gray toning over luster and strong die-polish lines, also with faint hairlines on fields. PCGS #62054869. Estimate: $500-$750.
Colombia (colonial) - Cobs Shield Type
925. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob 8 reales, (1622), assayer A to right, mintmark RN to left, very rare. Restrepo-M42.1; S-B1;
KM-3.2; Cal-1534. 26.29 grams. Complete cross with choice castles-lions
details and nearly full shield with most of crown above, bold assayer •A• but the date and mintmark lost to peripheral flatness, unevenly toned but rather attractive overall and very solid despite a touch of surface corrosion near edge (nearly full weight), otherwise AU. Pedigreed to the Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1996, lot 1883. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.
926. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, cob 1 real, Philip IV, date not visible (1625-26), assayer H below denomination I to right, mintmark RN to left, very rare, NGC XF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-M18.1; S-C2a; KM-A5; Cal-671. 3.13
grams. Very bold full shield with equally bold RN to left and I-H to right,
king’s ordinal IIII in legend, the choice cross-castles-lions also full and bold but with date off the flan, nicely contrasting toning over faintly porous surfaces and encrustation in crevices, old scratches in crown. Coins of this very brief assayer H (Juan de la Hera) are represented by just seven 1 reales (all but one a die match with the present example), a single 2 reales, and three 8 reales (see lot 929), some with visible dates 1625 and 1626, and most with the escutcheon of escutcheon of Portugal in the upper half of the shield, as we see here, like the initial emissions of 1621-22. NGC #2907197-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
927. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, low-silver (plata baja) ¼ real, Philip IV, date not visible (struck in 1626), assayer A to right, mintmark NR/S to left , quadrants of cross transposed, unique, NGC VF details / environmental damage, finest and only example in NGC census. Restrepo-M11.1 for type; S-B1; KM-1; Cal-unl (Type 152). 2.04 grams. Obverse with full crown and shield showing bold mintmark NR punched over S for Nuevo Reino (Santa Fe) to left and assayer A to right, reverse with weak but complete pomegranate between pillars, flanked by P to left and V to right for PLVS VLTRA, with spotty toning and somewhat porous surfaces. XRF analysis is inconclusive due to loss of surface alloy (environmental damage), but the original composition appears to be closer to the 25% silver / 75% copper known as plata baja (low silver) of 1626 versus the vellón rico (enriched billon) of 1622 at about 18% silver / 82% copper, supported by the appearance of an NR mintmark to left punched over the previous mintmark S from 1622 (struck from the same dies), not to be confused with the similar RN-mintmark ½ real (twice the weight) bearing a 1622 date (two known) but probably also made in 1626. Documents show these coins were made by a special machine invented by Turrillo himself, as opposed to hand-hammering for cobs. The only known specimen of this variety, a unique and important discovery piece. NGC #6952953-001. Estimate: $10,000-up.
203
Sedwick Auction 40 928. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, mintmarkassayer NRE to left (1626-7), denomination VIII to right, very rare, PCGS Genuine, Restrepo Plate (stated on label). Restrepo-M45.11
(this coin); S-C3; KM-3.4; Cal-Type 298. 27.06 grams. Bold full cross with choice castles
and distinctive lions, well-detailed full shield with transposed lions and castles at upper left, clear but doubled mintmark-assayer to left and denomination VIII (vertically) to right, complete 16 of date, sharp AU with hairlines but light toning in crevices, odd-shaped flan with somewhat crude edge (as made). Most of the shield elements match 1626 issues, but not enough to confirm the NRE/NER proposed by Restrepo. PCGS #39179291. Plated on page 80 of Restrepo’s Coins of Colombia (2012). Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
929. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, assayer H below denomination VIII to right, mintmark RN to left (1626), extremely rare. Restrepo-M45.1; S-C3; KM-3.4; Cal-unl. 27.06 grams. Clear RN to left of full shield with doubled but certain VIII above
full assayer H to right, the slightly doubled cross also full, with castles and lions in proper quadrants, VF with contrasting toning and light old scuff on shield. There are three known 8 reales with assayer mark H, which stood for the same Juan de la Era representing the rest of Cartagena’s shield-type coinage up through 1635 with assayer mark E, just with his name initially misconstrued as Hera on the first issues in 1625-6. The earliest example, sold in Sedwick Auction 38 as lot 919, shows a 1622-style shield, notably including the inescutcheon of Portugal on the upper half, and a cross die that matches 1622 issues as well but with what looks like a 1625 date, the year Juan de la (H)Era arrived at the mint. The second one, pictured in Restrepo, bears a clear date 1626 but does not show the assayer (due to doubling), yet its obverse die matches the current lot exactly, which means we can safely ascribe this coin to 1626. Estimate: $8,000-up.

PCGS #85753760. From a hoard discovered by Clyde Hubbard in Medellín in the 1950s and subsequently published by Robert I. Nesmith, plated as coin 3d on plate XXIX and in a line drawing on p. 518 in his 1958 article, “A Hoard of the First Silver Coins of Nuevo Reino de Granada (Colombia)”; also Plate Coin on page 73 of Restrepo’s Coinage of Colombia (2019); and Plate Coin on page 175 of Aureo & Calicó’s 2019 edition of Numismática española; pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11071) and to the Luis R.

941. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ½ real, Philip IV, date and assayer not visible (1627-65), NGC F details / cleaned. Restrepo-M16; KM-8; Cal-Type 177. 1.29 grams. Broad flan with an unusual amount of visible
legend, including (PHI)LIPPVIPPVS.IIII. [sic] around full monogram and nonsensical VM.PEAPV outside of full but off-center cross-castles-lions, nicely toned. NGC #6952942-006. Estimate: $200-$300.
942. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ¼ real, Philip IV, style of assayer P (1627-28), NGC XF 40, “top pop.”
Restrepo-M14.1; KM-unl; Cal-530. 0.72 gram. Undersized flan, struck off-center but with bottom part of lion and distinctively
large castle matching issues of 1627-28 assayer P, nicely toned, tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census (also in this auction, but attributed differently). NGC #6952942-024. Estimate: $500-$750.
943. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ¼ real, Philip IV, style of assayer R (1642-54), NGC XF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-M14.1; KM-unl; Cal-531. Small flan but with well-centered full castle with distinctively tilted

broad flan with complete and well-detailed shield flanked by •VIII• to left and •+• to right, in addition to parts of PHILIPPVS • IIII in the legend, the pillars-and-waves also full with clear PoRAS assayer to left and I65Z date to right, light steely toning, parts of edge slightly crude (as made) but with minimal surface corrosion, one of the nicest we have seen. PCGS #85759604. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11030). Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.
945. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob 4 reales, 1700 date to right, assayer A.V (Arce) to left, unique, NGC VF 30, finest and only example in NGC census, ex-Lozano. Restrepo-M60.18;
S-B11; KM-unl (11 for type); Cal-unl (Type 95). 13.50 grams. The only known example, with a very bold 1700 date to right and A•V assayer to left of complete pillars above waves, the shield also bold and almost full with clear denomination IIII to left, most of crown above, all noticeably circulated but with deeply contrasting toning in crevices, no evidence of king’s name but circumstantially known to have been struck under Charles II (possibly posthumously), a new discovery coin (this date not listed in Restrepo) from a period of silver issues that are so rare that any new dated example found is unique and critically important to Colombian specialists. NGC #6952942-037. Pedigreed to the Alberto Lozano Collection. Estimate: $5,000-up.
206
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
946. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob 1 real, 1653 R, rare, PCGS XF45, ex-Eldorado, ex-Ponte, Nesmith Plate. Restrepo-M24.9; S-B7; KM-9; Cal-778. 3.17 grams. Small, oblong flan
with the bold pillars struck off-center enough to allow a complete four-digit date in the legend above, full crown and shield on other side (despite the tightness of the flan) with right side of assayer R to left and full denomination I to right, attractively rainbow toned. PCGS #85760956. From a hoard discovered by Clyde Hubbard in Medellín in the 1950s and subsequently published by Robert I. Nesmith, plated as coin 10h on plate XXXI and in a line drawing on p. 529 of his 1958 article, “A Hoard of the First Silver Coins of Nuevo Reino de Granada (Colombia)”; also pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11104) and to the Luis R. Ponte Collection. Estimate: $1,500-up.
947. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ½ real, 1666 no assayer (Ramos), Charles II, rare, NGC XF 40, finest and only example in NGC census, Calicó Plate. Restrepo-M54.1;
S-B7a; KM-A8; Cal-191 (this coin). 1.27 grams. Typically small, thick, sharply cut flan with nearly full
Philip IV [sic] monogram, nice but off-center cross (proper quadrants) with 100% complete date 1666 (very rare to see on a Bogotá cob ½ real), richly toned all over. One of the distinctive idiosyncrasies of the Bogotá mint is its use of the Philip monogram on all cob ½ reales, even as late as the 1720s when their production apparently ceased, meaning that Charles II issues like this one are really only recognizable as such when either the date or the king’s name and/or ordinal appears in the legend, neither of which is common. While the other New World mints did not reflect Charles’ accession until 1667 or even 1668, we know from other 1666 issues that Bogotá changed their dies in favor of the new king in that year. NGC #6620528-009. Plate Coin on page 228 of Aureo & Calicó’s 2019 edition of Numismática española. Estimate: $750-up.
948. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ½ real, Charles II posthumous, date not visible (early 1700s) no assayer (Arce), unique, NGC XF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-unl; S-B11; KM-B8; Cal-324. 1.05 grams. Choice full Philip monogram (see previous lot for explanation) with x above and x punched over an ornament below, also complete cross-castles-lions (proper quadrants), all well centered and deeply toned with slight surface porosity. This is the first example we have seen in this denomination with this style of castles and lions and x ornament, all of which matches gold cobs of the period. Note: NGC attributed this coin erroneously to Philip IV (1627-65) and Restrepo type M16 (Restrepo does not list any Charles II posthumous issues in silver). NGC #6968813-002. Estimate: $250-up.
949. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ½ real, Charles II posthumous, date not visible (early 1700s) no assayer (Arce), rotated castles and lions, unique, NGC XF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-
unl; S-B11; KM-B8; Cal-324. 1.30 grams. Small, thick flan with sharply cut edges, deep toning over faintly porous surfaces, full Philip monogram (see lot 947 for explanation) with CA- of king’s name in legend, slightly off-center full cross with castles and lions chaotically rotated relative to one another but in a style similar to the previous lot, only the second example we have seen (the first being a Lasser coin in Sedwick Auction 18, misattributed to the 1660s). Note: NGC attributed this coin erroneously to Philip IV (1627-65) and Restrepo type M16 (Restrepo does not list any Charles II posthumous issues in silver). NGC #6952943-001. Estimate: $250-up.
950. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ½ real, Charles II posthumous, date not visible (ca. 1712-13) no assayer (Arce), quadrants of cross transposed, unique. Restrepo-unl; S-B11; KM-B8; Cal-325. 0.68 gram. Very small flan,
deeply toned and thin from corrosion but with bold (albeit off-center) details including right half of Philip monogram (see lot 947 for explanation) surrounded by parts of king’s name (CAROLVS) and nearly full cross with seated lions (in transposed quadrants) identical in style to those on 2 escudos of 1712-13 (first we have seen silver). Estimate: $250-up.
951. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ¼ real, Charles II posthumous, style of assayer Arce (early 1700s), NGC XF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-M53.2; S-B11; KM-B7; Cal-103. Wedge-shaped flan, dark and thin from corrosion but with clear and distinctive castle, nearly full fluffy lion with S-shaped ball-tip tail. Note: NGC attributes to 1627-65 / Restrepo M14 in error. NGC #6952942-021. Estimate: $200-$300.
952. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ¼ real, Philip V, style of assayer S (ca. 1722-32), rare, NGC VF details / cleaned. Restrepo-unl; S-B13; KM-unl; Cal-unl. Thick flan with well-detailed strike featuring full and distinctive castle (with
flat-top central turret and angled side turrets) and lion (with feet pointing outward), corded borders on both sides, lightly toned. Note: NGC attributes to 1627-65 / Restrepo M14 in error. NGC #6952942-016. Estimate: $250-$375.
207
Sedwick Auction 40 953. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ¼ real, Philip V, style of assayer M (ca. 1732-43), rare, NGC VF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-unl; S-B14; KM-unl; Cal-unl. Thin, rectangular flan with 100% full castle and lion (both
in a distinctive style matching higher denominations for assayer M), corded borders, darkly toned with minor surface corrosion. Note: NGC attributes to 1627-65 / Restrepo M14 in error. NGC #6952942-032. Estimate: $250-$375.
954. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, cob ¼ real, Ferdinand VI, style of assayer S (ca. 1743-56), rare, NGC XF 40. Restrepo-M91.1; S-B16; KM-unl; Cal-20. 0.61 gram. Choice example in top grade at NGC (albeit misattributed to 1627-65 /
Restrepo M14 in error), with 100% full castle and lion—in a style specific to this period—within corded borders (others are known with laurel borders for this assayer), attractively toned. NGC #6952942-034. Estimate: $500-$750.
Colombia (colonial) - Gold
955. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1757 J, rare, NGC AU 58, “top pop.” Restrepo-24.6; Cal-816; KM-32.1; Fr-15. Rich gold color with muted luster, well struck with full rims, minor wear only, a very attractive example of this rare early milled
Bogotá onza, struck only shortly after the Nuevo Reino mint adopted machine production, currently tied with four others for finest in the NGC census. NGC #8474518-005. Estimate: $7,000-up.
956. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III (“rat nose” bust), 1762 JV (no dot), rare, NGC XF details / obv scratched, ex-Trastámara (stated on label). Restrepo-71.1a; Cal-2079; KM-41. Rare and
important first year of the Charles III 8 escudos from Bogotá, introducing the distinctive young “rat nose” portrait as opposed to the carried-over bust of Ferdinand VI, this example rather well struck for the issue, with fully detailed central elements, bold legends and date harboring traces of luster, rich gold color, and nearly full rims despite inexact centering, with a short scratch to right of date as noted by NGC. Many major collections, including Karon, Eliasberg, Caballero de las Yndias, Norweb, and Ortiz, lacked this date. Also note this is the even rarer variety with the JV assayer lacking a dot in between the letters. An important opportunity for the Colombian specialist or Latin American trophy collector. NGC #8914056-001. Pedigreed to the Trastámara Collection (Aureo & Calicó auction of October 2014, lot 818). Estimate: $5,000-up.
208
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
957. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III (“rat nose” bust), 1766 JV, rare, PCGS AU58, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eldorado, ex-Diaz Lascano. Restrepo-71.8a; Cal-2085; KM-41. Choice, well-centered, and well-detailed strike
with complete rims, sharp full details in the distinctive early “rat nose” portrait of Charles III, rich gold color with tinges of red, considerable remaining mint luster in the protected areas, light even friction on the highest points and only minor scattered contact marks, the finest at PCGS and bettered by only two at NGC in low MS grades, also nicely pedigreed. PCGS #84979182. Pedigreed to the Federico Diaz Lascano Collection (Schulman auction of May 1969, lot 168) and to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11163). Estimate: $10,000-up.
958. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III (“rat nose” bust), 1769 JV, extremely rare, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo M71.14; Cal-2090; KM-41. 26.96 grams. Exceptionally lustrous, with choice full portrait
details and clear JV assayer initials, as opposed to the relatively less rare single-assayer V for this year, the surfaces so pristine that the fields exhibit original die-polish lines, albeit with a few wispy surface hairlines that do not detract from the strong original luster or overall freshness of the coin, the rims only slightly incomplete due to trivial centering issues. The presence of die cracks in the legends combined with faint die buckling, yet with fresh die-polish lines, suggests that the dies failed relatively early in their working life. It is quite possible that only a very limited number of 8 escudos were struck before the dies were discontinued and replaced with the single-assayer successor (which is also characterized by oversized digits 69 in the date), possibly explaining the extreme rarity of this JV variety. In any case, the 1769 JV is one of the great rarities of the Nuevo Reino 8 escudos series. Restrepo recorded only two examples, while Calicó (in La Onza) described the issue as “only a few specimens known,” and an earlier specialist auction catalog characterized it as “rarísima.” We can trace five examples, of which three are in the NGC census (and none at PCGS): the present coin in MS 62, a second in AU 55, and a third in AU details. NGC #4671142001. Pedigreed to the Numismatica Ars Classica auction of March 2002 (lot 277) and to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11168). Estimate: $25,000-up.
209
Sedwick Auction 40
959. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III (“rat nose” bust), 1770 VJ, rare, PCGS AU58, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eldorado, ex-Norweb (stated on label). Restrepo-71.20; Cal-2093; KM-41. Superb bold strike with
choice luster and rich gold color, with remarkably great definition on the iconic “rat nose” bust, some denticles of the rims off the flan due to a slightly off-center strike, the surfaces all clean and problem-free except for one small area of coppery encrustation around the X of REX. This coin also bears an admirable pedigree dating back to Norweb, inspiring the cataloger for the Eldorado sale to say that its “condition and provenance are unimproveable.” It remains the sole graded coin at PCGS, with the finest in the NGC topping out at AU 55. PCGS #84983353. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11172) and to the Norweb Collection (Spink America auction of March 1997, lot 350). Estimate: $10,000-up.
960. COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1783 SF, NGC UNC details / cleaned. Restrepo-73.32; Cal-
2051; KM-50.2. Choice luster and well-detailed strike with full rims,
faintly concave reverse, minor marks and surface hairlines only. NGC #8906412-001. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.
961. COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles IV, 1806 JF, NGC AU 53. Restrepo-98.34; Cal-1686; KM-62.2. Rich gold
color with beautiful red toning in legends, muted luster, evidence of light die buckling in centers, plus a few old marks including a curious “slit throat” on the king’s bust. NGC #2086388-026. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.
Colombia (colonial) - Busts 962. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 8 reales-sized proclamation medal, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1808, from the merchant community of Santa Fe de Bogotá, plain edge, no rope. Restrepo-18 (p. 130), Fonrobert-8046; Herrera-79; Medina-382. 30.27 grams. 40 mm. Obverse with ar-

ing around strong details and over surface hairlines, slightly off-center strike, bold overdate, a rare type that is almost never problem-free, this example formerly PCGS VF35 when it was sold in 2020. NGC #6968800-003. Pedigreed to the BKingdom Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2020, lot 21122). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.
967. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, bust 2 reales, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1816 F•J, both 1’s in date re-punched, rare (unlisted). Restrepo-113.3 var; Cal-931; KM-70.1. 6.69 grams. About
Fine with dark, contrasting toning, slightly off-center strike, heretofore unrecorded date variety (presumably rare). Estimate: $250-$375.

struck bust but no problems, somewhat rare with clean date as opposed to 1799/99. Curiously, all the I’s in the legend are made from I-punches with the top-left serif missing, giving them the appearance of J’s. Estimate: $400-$600.
of Charles IV [sic] flanked by TIBI and FIDES above ET AMOR* within legend PREDILECTUS HISP [rosette] ET IND [rosette] REX [radiant rosette] FERDINANDUS VII [rosette]; reverse with mountains and city within legend [rosette] PROCLAMATUS [rosette] IN [rosette] CIVIT [rosette] POPAIENENSI [rosette], OCTUB. / *1808* in exergue; plain edge.

Estimate: $400-$600.
974. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, bust 1 real, Ferdinand VII (bust of Charles IV), 1819 FJ, inverted J, PCGS AU58, “top pop.” Restrepo-111.18; Cal-658; KM-68.1. A jewel for the series in top grade, with light
rainbow toning over strong luster, choice strike with full rims, tied with one other at this top grade in the PCGS census and with another at NGC (also finest in that census). PCGS #85760964. Estimate: $750-$1,100.
975. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, ¼ real, Ferdinand VII, 1816, NGC XF details / cleaned. Restrepo-100.15; KM-

tinctively pedigreed. NGC #2906172-050. Pedigreed to the EMO Collection, the Norweb Collection (Christie’s auction of November 1985, lot 709, with his original tag), and the Virgil M. Brand Collection (as stated in Christie’s and on the tag). Estimate: $500-$750.
Colombia (Cartagena “imitation cobs”)
977. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, “imitation cob” 4 reales, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “I88” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed, very rare, NGC VF 30. Restrepo 119.1; Cal-Type 255; KM-unl. 6.53 grams. Richly toned, off-center strike with left pillar bold and full,
flanked by L-LV-M to left and 4-SVL-188 to right (right pillar and area beyond flat), nearly full cross with bold •M• to right, typically struck over a previous issue but without any under-coin evidence visible, a rather choice example of a very rare ephemeral type (Restrepo: “About five known”), surely among the finest known for the “188” date. Appears as “top pop” in the NGC census, but misattributed to Barinas Caujaral, Venezuela. NGC #8908876-001. Estimate: $4,000-up.

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
978. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, “imitation cob” 4 reales, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “8oo” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed, very rare, NGC XF 45, finest and only example in NGC census. Restrepo 119.1 var; Cal-1029; KM-unl. 5.10 grams.
Crude surfaces and off-center strike but with clear “8oo” date nonetheless (not recorded in Restrepo), struck over a previous issue as usual (small parts of under-coin visible, but also slightly doubled), steely gray toning all over. NGC #4927252-008. Estimate: $2,500-up.
979. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper “imitation cob” 2 reales, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “Ioo” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed, struck over a Cartagena provisional 2 reales of 1813-14, rare. Restrepo-118.1; Cal-unl; KMunl. 3.50 grams. Glossy dark surfaces with lighter sediment in crevices, bold but slightly doubled details, the “date” of Ioo quite clear (only the second one we have handled, not the normal 8oo typically seen for this type), also with both denominations 2 visible as well as a full DE CARTAGENA from the under-coin’s legend (but date missing), close to AU for actual wear and notably problem-free. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.
980. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper “imitation cob” 2 reales, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “III” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed, struck over a Cartagena provisional 2 reales of 1813-14, rare, NGC VF details / holed. Restrepo-118.1;
Cal-unl; KM-unl. Perfectly round (possibly shaved, weight not specified), struck slightly off-center but with full cross and lions and castles inside parts of under-coin legend, most of pillars with complete “date” of III, neatly drilled hole at top, light chocolate brown in color. NGC #6970241-002. Estimate: $500-$750.

with bold details, including “date” 8oo and denomination 2 below the cross, parts of CARTAGENA of under-coin visible as well, currently tied with one other for finest in the NGC census (which does not differentiate between the various fantasy dates nor host dates). NGC #4829237-012. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.
982. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, low-silver “imitation cob” ½ real, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “II(?)” (ca. 1815), extremely rare, NGC VF details / environmental damage. Restrepo-108.2; Cal-unl; KM-unl.
0.37 gram. Thin, round flan with dark toning and light surface porosity, most of
Philip monogram above II of date (third digit to right not discernible, probably either I or 8) and also full cross despite off-center strike on both sides, clearly a ½ real design (and cataloged as such in Restrepo) but attributed to ¼ real by NGC because of its rather low weight, currently unique with the “II” date in any case. NGC #6968813-005. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

Sedwick Auction 40
983. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, low-silver “imitation cob” ½ real, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “8o(?)” (ca. 1815), extremely rare, NGC AU 55. “top pop,” Rosenman Plate, Restrepo Plate. Restrepo-108.2; Cal-unl; KM-unl. 0.89 gram. Thin and underweight flan (Rosen-
man calls it a “monogram ¼ real”) but with bold full cross containing empty quadrants, very clear but off-center Philip monogram above 8o of date (third digit to right off the flan, probably another o), lightly toned and very choice in grade, currently one of only two known with that date, also admirably pedigreed, an extremely important piece for the Colombian “imitation cob” specialist. NGC #6620528-008. Plate Coin on page 54 of Rosenman’s Imitation Cobs of Venezuela and Colombia (2007) and on page 133 of Restrepo’s Coins of Colombia (2012), also pictured in issue #14 (October 2021) of Monedas de Colombia published by Alexander Montaña Rodríguez. Estimate: $3,500-up.
984. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, low-silver “imitation cob” ½ real, Ferdinand VII, no date or fantasy date not visible (ca. 1815), extremely rare, NGC VF 30. Restrepo-108.2; Cal-unl; KM-unl. 0.35 gram. Typically small and
thin flan but neatly octagonal (possibly clipped, in any case attributed as a ¼ real by NGC despite the ½ real design), with most of Philip monogram in retrograde either struck without fantasy date or with date off flan (probably unique), also most of cross in evidence, particularly rare for this type as straight graded. NGC #6968813-003. Estimate: $500-$750.
985. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper “imitation cob” ½ real, Ferdinand VII, fantasy date “8oo” (ca. 1815), struck over a Cartagena provisional ½ real of 1812-13, very rare, NGC AU 58 BN, finest and only example in NGC census.
Restrepo-108.1; Cal-unl; KM-unl. Unusually small full cross and monogram (normal-sized “date” 8oo), traces of under-coin visible in peripheries, deep chocolate-brown color, choice grade, the only coin in the NGC census with the 8oo date. NGC #5936682-007. Estimate: $1,000-up.
986. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper “imitation cob” ½ real, Ferdinand VII, no date or fantasy date not visible (ca. 1815), struck over a Cartagena provisional ½ real of 1812-13, very rare, NGC AU 55 BN, finest known in NGC census, ex-Toulemonde. Restrepo-108.1; Cal-unl; KM-unl. Full cross and most of Philip monogram (both off center) with quite a bit of the under-coin details visible, typically crude with patchy black toning (mostly in centers), choice grade (the finer of just two in the NGC census for coins without “dates”). NGC #6856251-007. Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label), Sedwick Auction 34 (lot 1150). Estimate: $1,000-up.
Colombia (Cartagena or Santa Marta royalist) 987. COLOMBIA, Cartagena or Santa Marta(?), copper ¼ real, Ferdinand VII, no date (ca. 1815), rosettes at top and bottom, very rare, NGC AU 53 (EMO Collection Blue Label), ex-Norweb (Plate), ex-EMO (Plate), KM Plate, Restrepo Plate. Restrepo-102.1 (this coin); Cal-unl; KM-C1. Fairly well-formed flan with design somewhat reminiscent of
the official silver issues from the Bogotá mint with lion on reverse, but instead of a castle and date the obverse shows NR and 1|4 and rosettes, which Restrepo could only narrow down to “Caribbean” mint (KM says Santa Marta), which could even include Maracaibo in modern-day Venezuela (but decidedly not “Nicaragua” as stated in the original Norweb catalog), this extremely well-pedigreed example with nearly full details and even some rim design in deep chocolate-brown color with traces of original color and luster around the lion. NGC #2906174-025. Pedigreed to the Norweb Collection (Christie’s auction of November 1985, lot 714, plated in catalog) and to the EMO Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2024, lot 51091, also Plate Coin 306.3 on page 109 of his book Spanish Colonial and Republican Cuartillos of the New World [2020]), also plated in KM’s Standard Catalog references and on page 131 of Restrepo’s Coins of Colombia (2012).

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
Colombia (Cartagena provisional Republic) 988. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper provisional 2 reales, 1813, PCGS MS61 Brown, finest known in PCGS census, ex-Margolis. Restrepo-136.2; Cal-unl; KM-D1.
Choice example with all details visible on both sides (especially the 1813 date), including most of both rims, deep reddish brown color all over, well centered and devoid of doubling, the sole MS example among eight entries in the PCGS census. PCGS #49467078. Pedigreed to the Richard Margolis Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of October 2024, lot 74069). Estimate: $350-up.
989. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper provisional ½ real, 1812, NGC MS 62 BN, “top pop.” Restrepo-131.2; Cal-316; KM-D2. Superb grade (currently tied with two others for finest among 45 entries in the NGC census), and also well struck with full details on both sides, including the date and a particularly prominent “tropical bird” in flight to the left of the native woman, light chocolate-brown color with hints of luster. NGC #4494536-010. Estimate: $500-up.
990. COLOMBIA, Cartagena, copper provisional ½ real, no date (1812-13), normal N, PCGS AU50, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-131.5; Cal-314; KM-D2. Mostly bold details including clear 1|2 /
ESTADO / DECARTA / GENA on reverse without any space for date, even chocolate-brown color, second finest of ten in the current PCGS census. PCGS #84937079. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2019, one of group-lot 42515). Estimate: $200-$300.
Colombia (“Libertad Americana”)
991. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1819 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA. Restrepo-142.1; KM-78. 23.42 grams. Scarce and desirable first “dollar” of independent Colombia, here in AVF grade with better central details than most, parts of rims bold, no toning (cleaned long ago). Estimate: $600-$900.
992. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1820/19 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA / NUEVA GRANADA, rare. Restrepo-142.2; KM-78. 22.67 grams. Typically worn centers (also with lamination flaw on pomegranate) but with bold legends (particularly the LIBERTAD AMERICANA and rare overdate 1820/19) set off by dark toning, Fine with small marks and hairlines from old cleaning, plugged hole at top of obverse, rare and popular type that represents the first dollar-sized coins of independent Colombia. Estimate: $400-$600.

Sedwick Auction 40
993. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1819 JF, struck over a Caracas, Venezuela, “imitation cob” 2 reales with fantasy date “741” (early 1800s), very rare, PCGS VG10, Rosenman Plate (stated on label). Restrepo-139.1; KM-unl (host
C13.2). Typically uneven and slightly off-center strike with messy interiors that mostly show the host details (including, significantly, the fantasy
date “741”) surrounded by some bold legend, particularly the AMERICANA, date 1819, denomination 2R, and assayer J•F, all lightly toned. As presented in Rosenman (to whom this coin is pedigreed), this issue was ordered directly by Simón Bolívar just eleven days after the Battle of Boyacá in 1819, specifying that “Caracas coinage of low fineness be restruck with the ‘India’ die [referring to Antonio Nariño’s profile of a native woman in headdress on obverse],” in an effort to alleviate a severe shortage of circulating silver coinage after the war, when independence became permanent after the Spanish Royalist re-occupation in 1817-18, during which no republican coinage was struck. Beginning in 1819, the legend was revised to identify the issuer as the United Provinces of New Granada rather than solely the Province of Cundinamarca (Bogotá). This particular example, while a bit worn, is nevertheless desirable for its clear details and also for its important pedigree. PCGS #35650687. Pedigreed to the R. Rosenman Collection, plated on page 62 of his book, Imitation Cobs of Venezuela and Colombia (2007). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.
994. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1819 JF, struck over a Caracas, Venezuela, “imitation cob” 2 reales with fantasy date “184” (early 1800s), very rare, NGC VF details / cleaned. Restrepo-139.1; KM-unl (host C13.2). Like the previous lot, this is a special emergency coinage decreed by Simón Bolívar himself after final independence using a new design without CUNDINAMARCA in the reverse legend, this example with lots of under-coin details in centers including a clear “date” 184, plus with the entire new legend visible including denomination, date, and assayer, all lightly toned with a few minor hairlines. NGC #6898643-006. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.
995. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1819 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, PCGS AU53, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-138.1; KM-76. Well-centered strike with bold legends and rims harboring luster, typically lightly struck but fully detailed interiors, choice grade (rare thus), with incipient toning in peripheries, one-year type with denomination in legend. PCGS #84930251. Pedigreed to Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 44065). Estimate: $750-$1,100.
996. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1813 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, NGC MS 62. Restrepo-133.1; KM-F1. Atypically bold strike with full details and light toning over mirror-
lustrous surfaces, minor rim flaws (as made) including lamination, but overall a rather choice example of the desirable first date of regular issue of independent Colombia. NGC #4829237-009. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
997. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1814 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, rare, NGC AU 50. Restrepo-133.2; KM-F1. Exceptionally choice for this rare date, distinguished by strong
legends and rims, fully detailed central elements (the pomegranate unusually bold), overall superior in sharpness and centering to the single-known higher-graded example (NGC AU 55). NGC #2115362-004. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.
998. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1815 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, legend NVEBA, very rare, NGC F details / cleaned, ex-Dana Roberts, ex-Toulemonde.
Restrepo-133.3; KM-F1. Deeply toned with hints of underlying luster, softly struck centers as usual (also with natural flaw across pomegranate) but the rims and legends strong, particularly the date and the very rare error NVEBA, of which Restrepo says only three to five are known to exist. NGC #6856465-007. Pedigreed to the Dana Roberts Collection (Heritage auction of April 2011, lot 25588) and to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label, Sedwick Auction 34, lot 1159). Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.
216
Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST 999. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1815 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, legend NUEVA with U/V and V/B, rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. Restrepo-133.4; KM-F1.
Good luster with splashes of light toning over very faint hairlines, well-detailed strike (including rims) that clearly shows the error-correction from NVEBA to NUEVA (Restrepo and NGC only note the V/B, but the second-letter U/V is also prominent). NGC #2115362-005. Estimate: $750-$1,100.
1000. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1815 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, legend NUEVA, NGC AU 55, ex-Eldorado, ex-Toulemonde. Restrepo-133.5; KM-F1. Choice, well-
centered strike with full details and very bold rims, deeply rainbow toned in peripheries (especially on the reverse), minor natural flaw in hair, second finest graded but in our opinion the most visually appealing specimen we have encountered for this scarce date with proper NUEVA in legend. NGC #6856465-008. Pedigreed to the Toulemonde Collection (stated on label, Sedwick auction 34, lot 1160) and to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42343). Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.
1001. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1816 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. Restrepo-133.6; KM-F1. Choice strike with full details and bold rims,
traces of die clashing on both sides, minor flaw in bust, very lightly toned with traces of luster, some hairlines. NGC #4829237-010. Estimate: $600-$900.
1002. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), ½ real, 1814 JF, LIBERTAD AMERICANA, very rare, NGC F details / environmental damage. Restrepo-132.1; KM-D3. Crude strike with lamination and
rim flaw but full details and bold legends, faintly toned with traces of surface porosity, very rare one-year type (the only ½ real in the popular LIBERTAD AMERICANA series). NGC #3355397-010. Estimate: $750-$1,100.
1003. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), ¼ real, 1814, rare, NGC VF details / environmental damage, “top pop.” Restrepo-130.1; KM-F2. Crude around the edge but with full interior details and bold date despite light
surface corrosion (lightly toned), decidedly rare (Restrepo says just scarce) and never seen in high grade, this example in fact just one of two in the NGC census, both in VF details grade. NGC #2115362-001. Estimate: $350-$500.
Colombia (Republic / Cundinamarca)
1004. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1820 JF, mule with NUEVA GRANADA reverse, rare. Restrepo-156.1;
KM-D7. 22.21 grams. One-year type with new REPUBLICA DE CO-
LOMBIA obverse combined with previous NUEVA GRANADA reverse (as opposed to CUNDINAMARCA), this example in VF grade with all details clear including rims, a few marks and hairlines from cleaning, but overall quite decent for this ever-popular muling. Estimate: $800-$1,200.
1005. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1820 JF. Restrepo-157.1; KM-C6. 22.78 grams. VF with hairlines and small marks
(scratch in front of face) but strong details (particularly the rims), traces of luster, odd die buckle to right on reverse, scarce first date of type. Estimate: $350-$500.

Sedwick Auction 40
1006. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1820 JF. Restrepo-157.1; KM-C6. 20.56 grams. Cleaned Fine with well-defined
details lined with contrasting toning, scarce first date of type. Estimate: $300-$450.
1007. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1820 JF, with pomegranate countermark on reverse, rare. Restrepo157.1r; KM-73. 20.07 grams. Toned VF with full rims and strong legend,
well-detailed full countermark over a minor lamination flaw, hairlines from old cleaning. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
1008. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1821 JF, dots below and to right of A of mintmark, NGC AU 53, ex-Toulemonde. Restrepo-157.4; KM-C6. Deeply brown toned
with some dark spots but also traces of golden luster in legends, rather clear details for the type, comparatively rare grade (albeit with six finer at NGC), rim flaw below date. NGC #6856247-001. Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label, Sedwick Auction 34, lot 1166). Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
1009. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1821 JF, dots below and to right of A of mintmark, pomegranate countermark on reverse. Restrepo-157.4r; KM-73. 20.34 grams. Very
bold full countermark (VF) on a typically worn host (VG), yet with all details clear, very lightly toned. Estimate: $400-$600.
1010. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1821 JF, no dot below A in mintmark, NGC XF 45. Restrepo-157.4a;
KM-C6. Choice strike and grade for this type with all details 100% full and sharp (including rims), lightly toned. Curiously, the mintmark B is almost missing (erased?) but covering a dot, while the A is offset to right of a ghost of an A, and the dot to right (strong) is very close to the J, so this may be a new, unreported die variety. NGC #3355398-003. Estimate: $500-$750.
1011. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 8 reales, 1821 JF, very weak dot below A in mintmark, dot to right, repunched 2 in date. Restrepo-157.4 var; KM-C6. 21.88 grams. Cleaned VF with scuff in hair, slightly crude edge (as made), bold date with the 2 clearly punched over a higher 2 (unlisted die variety). Estimate: $200-$300.

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST 1012. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1820 JF, stars in legend on both sides, rare, NGC F details / holed. Restrepo-155.2; KM-C5. Choice despite the hole at
top, with nice reverse and bold full legends on both sides, just the native portrait a bit weakly struck (overall more like VF in our estimation), richly toned all over. NGC #6620501-009. Estimate: $200-$300.
1013. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1821 JF, no BA, hollow six-point stars on reverse, very rare, NGC AU 55, finest known in NGC census. Restrepo-155.5; KM-C5. Exceptionally choice for the type, with a bold, well-centered strike, strong
overall definition, and handsome deep toning, generally full rims with minor rim flaw at bottom on reverse, by far the highest graded example at NGC, where the next finest is VF 20 (varieties not specified), and also finer than the sole PCGS-certified example at AU53 for this variety with hollow six-point stars instead of dots, which is a distinctively rare variant. NGC #6480715-007. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.
1014. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1821 JF, mintmark BA with dots below and right of A, NGC XF details / obv tooled. Restrepo-155.6; KM-C5. Richly

1015. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 2 reales, 1821/3 JF, rare, NGC XF details / cleaned. Restrepo-155.7; KM-unl (C5 for type). Bold full details including rims, rather lustrous from heavy cleaning, bold overdate (rare) that Restrepo explains is evidence that the 1821 BA coins were actually struck after 1823. NGC #2115362-007. Estimate: $750-$1,100.
1016. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), 1 real, 1821 JF, mintmark BA with dot below A, NGC AU 53, ex-Margolis. Restrepo-152.1; KM-B9. Very well-detailed strike (full rims) with deep, beauti-
ful rainbow toning all over, traces of luster, scarce choice grade (formerly PCGS AU58), die-clash evidence around date. NGC #6970241-004. Pedigreed to the Richard Margolis Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of October 2024, lot 74071). Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
1017. COLOMBIA, Bogotá (Cundinamarca), ½ real, 1821 JF, NGC AU 55, ex-Margolis. Restrepo-149.1; KM-F8.

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
1029. COLOMBIA, copper pattern ¼ real, 1825-dated, first pattern of Colombia, unique and unlisted, NGC UNC details / environmental damage. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl. 25 mm. NGC #8908865-001. Darkly toned, with proof-level definition of details and smoothness of fields, glossy surfaces with mild granularity on bust. The precedent for this remarkable pattern, whose portrait of Liberty somewhat resembles the famous “draped bust” design (albeit right-facing) of U.S. silver dollars from 1795-1803, was established by order of the Congress of Colombia in Article 2, enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Republic of Colombia on May 31, 1823 (Monedas Venezolanas, by Mercedes Carlota De Pardo [1973], pp. 60 to 61): “Art. 2º. Las monedas de cobre tendrán por el anverso el busto de la libertad con la inscripción: REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA. Por el reverso una orla de laurel, y en el centro en letras, un cuarto, o un octavo de real, año de tantos.” Note that the order called for 1/8 real pieces as well. However, the Colombian Congress repealed it on March 14, 1826, before the coins could enter production, but not before at least one of each denomination dated 1825 was made. We sold the unique 1/8 real in Sedwick Auction 29 (lot 865), hammering for $7500. To our knowledge, the current ¼ real piece is also unique. Together these two pieces comprise what we believe is the earliest known pattern issue struck for the newly established Republic of Colombia, which at the time encompassed present-day Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Panama. The opportunity to acquire such a great rarity of Colombian numismatics is unlikely to be repeated. Estimate: $6,000-up.
1030. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, ¼ real, 1826 TR, NGC XF details / rim damage (Esmeralda Collection Label). Restrepo-148.1; KM-85.1. Fairly bold strike, with attractive rainbow toning all over, scratches on raised rims, popular
one-year one-denomination issue with mintmark as B to left of assayers’ initials T and R (for Truxillo and Rodríguez), apparently their only joint contribution to minting in Colombia. NGC #4822299-007. Pedigreed to the Esmeralda Collection (Sedwick Auction 29, lot 862). Estimate: $350-$500.
Colombia (Republic of New Granada) 1031. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 8 reales, 1837 RS. Restrepo-193.1; KM-92.

example of the “culebrilla” design with light but vivid rainbow toning over lustrous surfaces, typically incomplete rims, choice grade (originally MS 60 when it was sold in 2008), with desirable pedigree. NGC #6856247-007. Pedigreed to the Gregorio Toulemonde Collection (stated on label, Sedwick Auction 34, lot 1173) and to the Millennia Collection (Goldberg auction of May 2008, lot 1032).

Toned AXF with lots of edge dents, a few small interior marks, key date of a scarce two-year type of which Restrepo says only three are known with reeded edge, but we have seen at least three examples including two in Eldorado. SEE INTERNET FOR PHOTO. Estimate: $350-$500. 1048. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 10 reales, 1851. Restrepo-197.4; KM-111. 24.66 grams. 37 mm. AVF with toning around details, parts of rims weak, a few old marks, scarce type. SEE INTERNET FOR PHOTO. Estimate: $200-$300. 1049. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1855. Restrepo-198.2; KM-118. 24.84 grams. Brightly cleaned AU with small marks and hairlines, lustrous, well-detailed strike (including rims). SEE INTERNET FOR PHOTO. Estimate: $200-$300. 1050. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1856/5. Restrepo-198.3; KM-118. 24.91 grams. Lustrous, brightly cleaned AU- with heavy hairlines, traces of toning on rims, bold overdate, small lamination flaw near bottom on reverse. SEE INTERNET FOR PHOTO. Estimate: $200-$300. 1051. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 2 reales, 1848, NGC MS 64. Restrepo-190.3; KM-105. Superb cartwheel luster with unblemished surfaces, faintly toned (stronger near rims at top), choice MS grade. NGC #6968813-013. Estimate: $350-$500.
1052. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, ¼ real, 1838, NGC MS 62. Restrepo-172.3; KM-90.1. Very sharp strike and rims with blazingly lustrous fields, minimal tiny marks (arguably MS 63), near top grade. NGC #6058651-010. Estimate: $600-$900.
Colombia (Granadine Confederation)
1053. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1859. Restrepo-226.2; KM126. 24.77 grams. Cleaned XF with incipient toning on obverse, hairlines
on reverse, minor lamination flaw near rim on that side, competent example of a popular ephemeral type. Estimate: $200-$300.
1054. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1861. Restrepo-226.5; KM-126. 24.56 grams. AVF with light toning around details, minor edge flaws,
scarce final date of a popular ephemeral type. Estimate: $200-$300.
1055. COLOMBIA, Popayán, ¼ décimo, 1862, three stars instead of nine on reverse, rare. Restrepo-221.6; KM-123. 0.71 gram. Near AU with crude rims, lightly toned over faint
luster, struck in the Confederation design but dated after the successful revolution of 1861 that defeated the conservative government. Estimate: $250-$375.

Sedwick Auction 40
Colombia (United States of New Granada) 1056. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1861. Restrepo-243.1; KM-138. 24.57
grams. Cleaned AVF with light marks, toning around details, scarce one-year type that Restrepo points out is “one of only two coins bearing the legend ESTADOS UNIDOS DE NUEVA GRANADA,” which makes it desirable for anyone seeking a crown-sized coin from each of Colombia’s various governments. Estimate: $200-$300.
Colombia (United States of Colombia)
1057. COLOMBIA, Popayán, gold 10 pesos, 1870, repunched stars, extremely rare, NGC MS 62, finest and only example in NGC census. Restrepo-332.8; Sed-40; KM-141.3; Fr-103. 16.13 grams. NGC #8452757-001. Rich gold color, lightly toned in legends, with fabulous luster and sharp full details, particularly on Liberty’s portrait, a couple minor marks, slightly crude rims, and a prominent die crack at U of UNIDOS, which along with the re-punched stars (noted by NGC) match the dies of the other known examples, but overall incredible quality for a Popayán issue. At MS 62, this coin is the finest of just five known, consisting of the following: 1. PCGS AU 58 sold in Sedwick Auction 25 (May 2019) 2. PCGS AU 55 in the Eldorado Collection sold in Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018 3. AU sold in Sedwick Auction 12 (October 2012) 4. The Banco de la República specimen plated in Restrepo (which also looks AU) Rated RRRR by Dr. Frank Sedwick, this key date has long been recognized as of one of the foremost rarities in Colombian Republic gold. As the final date of the Popayán 10 pesos type, the 1870 is part of the final chapter of a minting tradition rooted in Colombia’s colonial past. For more than a century, Popayán had refined and coined precious metals from the surrounding mining districts, continuing through the transition from Spanish rule to independent government. While the mints of Bogotá and Medellín continued into the time of Colombia’s current government, starting in 1886, the Popayán mint permanently ceased operation in 1880. Estimate: $20,000-$30,000.

1061. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 1 peso, 1870. Restrepo-318.3; KM-
1058. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1868, rare. Restrepo-317.1; KM-154.1. 24.79 grams. AXF with typically weakly struck bust but bold legends and rims, lightly toned around details, desirable first date of Liberty head type. Estimate: $350-$500.
154.2. 25.17 grams. Brightly lustrous AU with hairlines from cleaning, tiny spots of toning, well-detailed strike. Estimate: $250-$375.
1062. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 1 peso, 1871/0. Restrepo-318.4; KM-154.2. 24.93 grams. Well-detailed AU- with light toning over hairlines from old cleaning, very minor natural rim flaw on reverse, clear overdate. Estimate: $250-$375.
1059. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 1 peso, 1869, NGC MS 62.
Restrepo-318.1; KM-154.2. Superb strike with bold full details all over, even
with 100% discernible feathers on the condor’s breast (the design’s highest point, notably flat on almost all other examples), the characteristic date with large digits punched over small digits quite apparent, paired with dazzling luster, faint traces of toning on the rims, and tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 63 (which it probably rivals in terms of strike). NGC #8905385-003. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.
1063. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 1 peso, 1871. Restrepo-318.5; KM-
154.2. 25.14 grams. Lustrous UNC with hairlines from light cleaning, incipient toning on rims, well-detailed strike. Estimate: $250-$375.
1060. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 1 peso, 1870 with 0/9. Restrepo-318.2; KM-154.2. 24.48 grams. Well-detailed AU- with parts of rims
slightly crude (as made) and a curious circular die break in front of face, lightly toned, faintly hairlined, clear overdate. Estimate: $250-$375.
1064. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 1 peso, 1871. Restrepo-317.3; KM-154.1. 24.94 grams. Bright white AU+ (cleaned) with area of weak strike near rim at same place on both sides, final date of a brief type. Estimate: $250-$375.

Sedwick Auction 40
1065. COLOMBIA, Medellín, half peso, 1868, extremely rare, NGC VF details / damaged. Restrepo-292.1; KM-152. 12.33 grams. Nicely toned, with a few old marks and scratches that offended NGC, overall a rather acceptable example of this desirable one-year type that began the popular half dollar series for Colombia. The original law specified that this new denomination was to be a “medio peso,” but this ended up being the only coin actually struck with that denomination, as the others from this year forward were denominated as “cinco décimos”; ironically and inexplicably, this issue shows MEDIO PESO punched over CINCO DECIMOS. Only six examples are known (according to Restrepo), with just two having crossed the block in recent years (each in five figures). NGC #8905427-001. Estimate: $1,500-up.
1066. COLOMBIA, Popayán, 5 décimos, 1869, extremely rare, PCGS F details / cleaned, finest known in PCGS census.
Restrepo-295.1; KM-153.6. 12.03 grams. Attractively richly toned over smooth surfaces, any evidence of cleaning long since subdued and irrelevant
at this grade level, the evident wear within surrounding areas of VF details inside the softly struck centers, also with minor planchet wrinkle across chin and die crack below ribbon. Only four examples are known (according to Restrepo), and despite the present coin’s grade and limiter (unfounded, in our opinion), its strong eye appeal and metal fabric make it the most attractive of the four, these being the other three: 1. The Eldorado/Whittier specimen in NGC F 12 2. The Banco de la República specimen plated in Restrepo and estimated to be VG-F 3. An estimated Fine owned privately in Colombia and featured in various issues of Notas Numismáticas In fact, when we first sold the present coin in Sedwick Auction 15 (May 2014), we described it as the finest known, and we see nothing to challenge that today, PCGS’s opinion notwithstanding. In any case, this piece is acknowledged as one of the great rarities in Colombian Republic silver and the first date of the challenging Popayán 5 décimos series. PCGS #54762391. Estimate: $20,000-up.
1067. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 5 décimos, 1869. Restrepo-294.2; KM-153.2. 12.43 grams. Choice bold strike, XF+ with hairlines from old
cleaning, now lightly toned around details, very scarce date and type. Estimate: $300-$450.
1068. COLOMBIA, Medellín, 5 décimos, 1877/4, Wyon bust, with Costa Rica “lion” double countermark (Type VII, 1889), rare. Restrepo-298.1; KM-161.1 (host), 135.2 (c/m). 11.95 grams.
Deeply toned VF host with bold XF countermarks, minor rim flaws but overall problem-free, this double countermark particularly rare and desirable in combination with the scarce first date of host type implementing the Wyon bust (replacing the Barré bust that Medellín had used up until this year), the 1877/4 overdate on this example quite clear, an important coin for specialists of both Colombia and Costa Rica. Estimate: $400-$600.

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST

po-298.8; KM-161.1 (host), 135.2 (c/m). 12.50 grams. Strong AU countermarks
on a polished VF host with faint incipient toning near rims, edge crack above DE that was probably due to the double countermark. Estimate: $250-$375.

well-defined countermarks, some original luster and incipient toning. Estimate: $600-$900.
1073. COLOMBIA, Medellín, proof essai 2 décimos, 1873, AB below bust (Albert Barré), extremely rare, NGC PF 64 (gold WINGS sticker), ex-Lissner. Restrepo-
P42; KM-Pn38. Exceptionally attractive proof essai with sharply defined details contrasting with deeply reflective fields, all overlain with vivid multicolor toning showcasing rich rainbow hues on both sides. The bust in particular (engraved by Albert Barré) exhibits a strikingly three-dimensional quality. Also quite rare, as one of only three complete examples known to us, apart from some separately encountered uniface trials, and desirably pedigreed to the Lissner collection (the catalog for which mistakenly linked this piece to Ponterio 93, lot 1765, which was a 1 peso pattern of the same general type). NGC #3831525-078. Pedigreed to the R.L. Lissner Collection (CNG/St James’s/Teller auction of August 2014, with original lot-sticker 1487), as stated on label. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.
Colombia (modern Republic) 1074. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, 50 centavos, 1887, “Cocobola,” rare. Restrepo-405.1; KM-185. 12.68 grams. AU with very light toning
over luster and faint hairlines, scarce and popular type with Liberty rendered as the President’s wife (Doña Soleded Román) without his knowledge, a single-denomination type that proved unpopular for its lower fineness of 0.500 silver and was removed from circulation in 1888. Estimate: $500-$750.

Sedwick Auction 40
1075. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, specimen pattern 50 centavos, 1946-B, reeded edge, rare, PCGS SP64, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-P182; KM-Pn98.
Highly reflective surfaces with one tiny mark on cheek and slight granularity near rims (as made) but overall choice and very attractive for its extreme luster. PCGS #85758120. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42290). Estimate: $750-up.
1076. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, specimen pattern 50 centavos, 1950, mintmark B below coat of arms, reeded edge, rare, PCGS SP63, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-P202; KM-Pn100. Brilliant luster
with strong die-polish lines, minor rub on highest point of hair but otherwise pristine, scarce type with coat of arms designed by Luis A. Acuña showing flags and poles flanking the usual shield (not to be confused with the design of the next lot), centered mintmark below. PCGS #85752619. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42293). Estimate: $750-up.
1077. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, specimen pattern 50 centavos, 1950, mintmark B to right of center below shield, reeded edge, rare, PCGS SP64, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-P200; KM-Pn101.
Choice cartwheel luster with lovely red-orange toning around some details (mostly on reverse), minimal high-point friction, the arms on the reverse in a different design from the previous lot, notably with mintmark shifted to right. PCGS #85752620. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42292). Estimate: $750-up.
1078. COLOMBIA, Bogotá, specimen pattern 50 centavos, 1950, no mintmark, reeded edge, rare, PCGS SP63, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-P198;
KM-Pn101 var. Icy white with brilliant luster, with strong die-polish lines on obverse but also die rust in top part of reverse, which is identical to the previous lot (in fact with the same diagnostic die gouge to bottomleft of arms) but without the added B mintmark. PCGS #85752621. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42291). Estimate: $750-up.
1079. COLOMBIA, white metal specimen pattern 1 peso, 1961, reeded edge, rare, PCGS UNC details / residue, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eldorado, Restrepo Plate. Restrepo-P240 var; KM-unl. Choice luster with traces of
deep rainbow toning at rims (particularly inside the digits of the date), the surface slightly cloudy and with web of clear residue on reverse that the Eldorado cataloger described as “harmless... nothing a mild solvent couldn’t cure immediately.” Curiously, this is also the plate piece in Restrepo, who erroneously describes the issue as plain edge (hence we call it 240 var). PCGS #35623054. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 44504). Estimate: $700-up.
1080. COLOMBIA, copper-nickel specimen pattern 1 peso, 1963, lettered edge, rare, PCGS SP64, “top pop,” exEldorado. Restrepo-P252; KM-unl. Bright and lustrous, a rather “mid-
century modern” design with very few traces of contact on the exposed open fields (an invitation for incidental marks), noted by the Eldorado cataloger as “Listed in Restrepo as white metal, though this appears to be a standard cupronickel planchet,” tied with one other for finest in the PCGS census. PCGS #85757859. Pedigreed to the Eldorado Collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of August 2018, lot 42302). Estimate: $700-up.

prooflike, from an anachronistic fantasy series (Restrepo: “not legal coins”) assigned to several “sovereign states” (in this case Cundinamarca), scarce and interesting. NGC #6282881-015. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

Cuba (Republic)
1090. CUBA, struck at the Gorham Mint, “souvenir” peso, 1897, Type II (closely spaced date and star to right below baseline), NGC MS 62. KM-XM2. Well struck with faint toning
over cartwheel luster, scattered light contact marks appropriate for the grade, the Type II diagnostics bold and distinct, a popular Cuban independence issue struck in Providence, Rhode Island, for the Cuban Revolutionary movement, with a low mintage of 4,286 pieces.

1091. CUBA, struck at the Gorham Mint, 1 peso, 1898, rare, NGC XF 45. KM-A8. Deeply gray toned with minimal wear for the
assigned grade (could be AU 50 on a better day) but no luster, minimal bagmarks. This key second year of mintage without SOUVENIR in the design was proposed just three weeks after the explosion and sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor. According to Emilio Ortiz in Money of the Caribbean (2006), on March 9, 1898, Gorham agreed “to make one thousand Cuban Coins in about four days from the receipt of the order.” NGC #8714741-013.

Cuban Republic proofs with only 125 pieces struck, seldom offered this choice. NGC #1775734-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
1097. CUBA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, 10 centavos, 1916, NGC MS 64+. KM-A12. Cartwheel luster with traces of light, speckled toning, a condition rarity as one of the finest certified examples of this key date (lowest mintage of the type with 560,000 struck), tied with one other for second finest certified by NGC, with only two MS 65 examples grading higher, among a current census of 78 entries. NGC #5845388003. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250. 1098. CUBA, struck at the Philadelphia mint, copper-nickel proof 1 centavo, 1916, very rare, NGC PF 63, ex-Rudman. KM-9.1. Sharply struck with reflective proof fields and well-defined devices,
minor surface speckling, faint gold toning, among the first Cuban Republic proof issues with a reported mintage of just 104 pieces, considerably scarcer than its circulation counterpart and an important type for the advanced Cuban specialist. NGC #1528606-001. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

1100. CUBA, Havana mint, bi-metallic gold & silver proof 500 pesos, 2000, Che Guevara, with star, numbered on reverse 011, extremely rare, NGC PF 69 Ultra Cameo, finest known in NGC census. KM-950. 74.00 grams. 50 mm. Box: 4” x 6”. NGC #8914135-001.
Obverse with Cuban arms within oak and laurel branches, REPÚBLICA DE CUBA above and denomination below, metal weights and finenesses flanking, LÍMITE DE EMISIÓN 101 at upper left and individual serial number 011 at upper right; reverse with facing portrait of Guevara wearing his familiar starred beret, facsimile signature at lower left, date and key and star mintmark at right, HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE above and ERNESTO GUEVARA DE LA SERNA below. Sharply detailed frosted devices contrast with reflective fields, with scattered light surface marks and spots and delicate peripheral toning on the silver center. Offered as a personalized issue produced to order, with an announced limit of 101 individually numbered pieces (not a confirmed mintage). The reported NGC census comprises just four specimens, with the present PF 69 Ultra Cameo standing alone as the finest, above two PF 68 and one PF 65. This impressive proof is arguably one of the most technically ambitious and finely executed modern products of the Casa de la Moneda de Cuba, combining an outer ring of 49 grams of .999 fine gold with a center of 25 grams of .999 fine silver, for a specified total weight of 74 grams. The mint’s technical specifications give an overall diameter of 50 mm, a silver center measuring 35 mm, and a thickness of 2.5 mm for both components. Accompanied by its original black velvet presentation box with glass interior and original Casa de la Moneda de Cuba Certificado de Propiedad, or certificate of ownership. Dated Havana, April 1, 2002, the certificate records the mint’s sale of piece No. 011 to Domingo Suárez, identifies the special series honoring Che Guevara, and explains the issue limit and individual numbering. The matching number directly connects this specimen to its named purchaser and documents its sale by the mint in 2002, two years after the coin’s 2000 date. The Casa de la Moneda de Cuba’s official promotional flyer titled “El arte en metal”—a color facsimile copy of which accompanies this lot—features on the front a gold upper panel with the mint’s oval emblem, a large green portrait of Guevara, and color illustrations of both sides of the coin above the caption “Una moneda personalizada” in gold script, with the design credited to the mint. The back of the flyer emphasizes the technical challenges of joining different proof-finish precious metals and explains the personalized character conferred by each specimen’s individual number. A shaded technical specifications table supplies the dimensions and component weights, followed by the mint’s emblem and Havana contact information. An especially important offering for the advanced Cuban coin collector, combining exceptional technical execution, individual numbering, and finest-known status. Accompanied by original presentation box and original certificate issued to the first owner. Estimate: $15,000-up.

Dominican Republic (under Spain)
1113. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Santo Domingo, 4 reales, Charles-Joanna, assayer F to left, denomination o-IIII to right, mintmark P to left and S to right, very rare, PCGS VF details / saltwater damage, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Rudman (stated on label), Calicó Plate (2008). Downing-Rudman-4R.12; S-SD1; Cal-140; KM-32 var. 12.43 grams. PCGS #65815794. One of only five known of this type, struck on a broad flan with full legends (king and queen stated on both sides, followed by REGIS on the pillars side and R on the shield side) bearing cloverleaf ornaments and all-Latin lettering, choice full pillars with mintmark P-S, also with strong assayer F and denomination on shield side (proper castles and lions) despite some corrosion on that side, deeply toned all over, with hairline edge crack. As a group, Santo Domingo coins minted under Charles and Joanna are the rarest coins from the Spanish Colonial New World mints, probably because the mint operated for a only short period of time, from 1542 to 1552. Their design is similar to the coins struck at the Mexico City mint, which began slightly earlier, in 1536. There was only one Santo Domingo assayer for this series, Francisco Rodríguez (assayer F). Santo Domingo coins frequently show anomalies, like transposed castles and lions, mintmark P-S instead of S-P, and misspellings in the legend (the current piece, for example, shows YOHANA for the queen’s name on one side). Execution was generally crude, with some exceptions, the current piece being one. Santo Domingo silver coins of Charles-Joanna rarely come up for sale; this is an opportunity not to be missed. Pedigreed to the Rudman Collection (Cayón auction of December 2003, lot 87), plated on page 123 of the 2008 edition of Calicó’s Numismática española. Estimate: $12,500-up.
1114. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Santo Domingo, ½ real, Charles-Joanna, no assayer (F), mintmark P to left and S to right, extremely rare. Downing-Rudman-HR.4; S-SD1; Cal-
58; KM-24. 1.07 grams. Lightly corroded all over and with some edge loss, but still with mostly readable details, the legends showing Latin lettering, ringlet ornaments, king and queen’s name on both sides, contrasting toning, one of only three known for this variety (and only eighteen known in total), another great opportunity to acquire a seldom-offered Santo Domingo silver coin of CharlesJoanna. Pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 16 (lot 669). Estimate: $750-up.

faint rainbow toning throughout, quite a bit rarer than the small-date and Heaton-mint varieties, a lovely proof that is one of just two in the NGC census, both at this top grade. NGC #3498168-009. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.
1116. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Philadelphia mint, gold 30 pesos, 1955, 25th anniversary of the Trujillo regime, NGC MS 60. KM-24, Fr-1. 29.6 grams.

prominent full countermark on the native woman’s neck, the host coin with rather bold legends and date (showing no evidence of 20/19, which Restrepo calls very rare) all set off by contrasting toning, full rims, this countermark much more often seen with later REPUBLICA DE COLOMBIA / CUNDINAMARCA hosts than for this LIBERTAD AMERICANA / NUEVA GRANADA host. PCGS #30169866. Estimate: $1,000-up.
1119. ECUADOR, Quito, 2 reales, MDQ countermark (1831) on a Bogotá (Cundinamarca), Colombia, 2 reales, 1820 J•F, dots on obverse and reverse, very rare. KM-8; host:

Essequibo & Demerary 1126. ESSEQUIBO & DEMERARY, struck in London, 1 guilder, George III, 1809, NGC MS 62. Prid-10; KM-6. Bold strike with choice luster overlain with very light rainbow toning,
a one-year type with reverse legend COLONIES OF ESSEQUEBO & DEMARARY TOKEN 1809, reflecting slightly different spelling and segregation of the two colonies (the former being the original Dutch settlement dating to 1616 and the latter spun off in 1745), later to become the united British colony of Demerary & Essequibo, eventually part of British Guiana and now within the country of Guyana.

1164. GUATEMALA, Pochuta, Chimaltenango, copper ½ real plantation token, ca. late 1800s, Wyld Hermanos / Liberia, PCGS MS65, finest and only example in PCGS census. Paiz-FL.03.04; Rulau-Chm40; Eklund-1120. Obverse with WYLD HNOS / POCHUTA

1167. HAITI, Kingdom of Northern Haiti, gold matte proof pattern fantasy crown, Henri I, dated 1811 / L’AN 8, INA Retro Issue, extremely rare, PCGS PR68, finest and only example in PCGS census. KM-X13d. 39.41 grams. PCGS #59322748. Exceptional matte proof with rich yellow color and remarkably pristine, finely textured surfaces, sharply and evenly struck throughout, with trace of luster on obverse, a large and impressive gold piece with distinctly medallic aspect, completely devoid of any evidence of handling. Apart from the obvious intrinsic value, this fantasy piece has iconographic importance as a memorial to Henri Christophe, who fashioned his own State of Haiti in the north part of the country after the assassination of Dessalines and transformed it a few years later into Haiti’s first and only Kingdom, with himself as King Henri I. Just as on the pattern silver crown (2 gourdes) struck for him in England in 1811, Henri appears here in Roman fashion: laureate, armored, and draped. However, the present piece is a modern fantasy, struck by the well-known International Numismatic Agency in London (ca. 1980s or later), specializing in private fantasy issues using historical models. Copper and gilt-copper examples are common, but this is the first we have heard of in solid gold (might be unique). Pedigreed to the SINCONA auction of October 2025, lot 2833. Estimate: $10,000-up.

with nice, even, copper-brown color but no luster, choice for the issue, second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 62 for the BN designation. NGC #5746375-020. Estimate: $250-$375.
1170. HAITI, copper 2 centimes, An 28 // 1831, NGC AU 58 BN. KM-A22. Strong strike with even but lusterless copper-brown color, areas of notable die rust, choice grade for the type, currently second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 61. NGC #3236021-030. Estimate: $200-$300.

grade (currently tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census) but struck from rather rusty dies, light copper-brown color with muted glossy surfaces. NGC #5746375-016. Estimate: $300-$450.
1174. HAITI, copper 1 centime, An 38 // 1841, NGC AU 55 BN. KM-A21. Crude strike, per
the type, but minimally circulated and with glossy purplish surfaces, currently tied with one other for second finest in the NGC census behind a single AU 58. NGC #5746375-015. Estimate: $200-$300.
1175. HAITI, struck in France or Belgium, essai 10 centimes, 1870-BB, engraver’s initials CT, NGC MS 65. Maz-2233; KM-PnB75.

cob in toned Fine grade, with well-centered full pillars and cross, full XF countermark deeply punched on the date. Decrees from 1824 mention that proper countermarks for Comayagua were ordered from Guatemala but did not arrive, so they had to use old Spanish colonial “royal fifth” punches instead, more often seen on “imitation cob” 2 reales of Tegucigalpa. This is the third we have seen on a Potosí cob 8 reales of this period. Estimate: $1,000-up.

Session IV - November 6, 2026, 9:00 AM EST
1205. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 4 escudos, Philip V, 1732 F, extremely rare, NGC MS 60 (Shipwreck Blue Label), finest known in NGC census, ex-1733 Fleet. Cal-2033; KM-135; Fr-9. NGC #3735673-002. We begin this unprecedented offering of the three gold minors of Mexico’s first machine production in 1732 with the finest-known 4 escudos of assayer F, the only one known in certified Mint State and a stunner with sharp full details emanating from lustrous fields, well centered with nearly complete rims (albeit slightly crude), a few stray marks that are not from circulation so much as from the ocean, where it lay in the remains of the Spanish 1733 Fleet for two and a half centuries, a virtual time capsule with remarkably little evidence of immersion. The first citation of a Mexican 4 escudos 1732 F coming from the 1733 Fleet is the story of how Jack Haskins found one on the site of Nuestra Señora de las Angustias in 1972, related in his article published in the Almanzar auction of December 14, 1979. Jack’s coin, while still encrusted, was illustrated in Bob “Frogfoot” Weller’s book Famous Shipwrecks of the Florida Keys in 1990 and also mentioned in Ernie “Seascribe” Richards’ 2014 booklet Shipwrecks and Their Coins: Volume 6—The 1733 Spanish Treasure Fleet, described as having been “sold at auction for $17,500” (Superior, June 1976, mentioned below as the Calicó Plate Coin). On the next page in that same booklet is a photo of the present coin, one of two found on the San Ignacio site by Geoff Zitver (sometime prior to 1993, the type of the second coin unknown). The present piece remains the finest of only three examples listed in the NGC census for the type bearing assayer initial F and denomination 4 flanking the crowned arms on reverse, the others being the Rudman specimen graded AU 58 (KM plate coin), and the Eliasberg specimen graded VF Details. (There is also an even rarer pre-series prototype without F and 4 that we do not include here, of which only two are known—the Tolrà specimen plated in Calicó and one in the Banco de Mexico Collection.) By carefully excluding repeat sales of the same coins, we have been able to track just six specimens of the 4 escudos 1732 F in public auction appearances, here in descending order of quality: 1. The present example, found by Geoff Zitver and first offered publicly by Ponterio, October 1993, lot 149, as UNC; subsequently graded NGC MS 60 and sold in Sedwick Auction 22 (November 2017), lot 144 2. The Jack Haskins specimen, plated in Calicó’s 2008 edition of Numismática española, sold as UNC in the Superior auction of June 1976, lot 2498, but visually inferior to the above 3. The Rudman specimen, plated in the KM Standard Catalog references, originally sold in Ponterio, June 1985 (Porraz Collection), lot 1; subsequently Heritage, August 2015, lot 31040, as NGC AU 58 4. A VF+ example sold by Ponterio, August 2011, lot 21279 5. The Banco de Mexico Collection specimen (coin #18855), AVF 6. The Eliasberg specimen, formerly mounted, sold in the American Numismatic Rarities auction of April 2005, lot 3084; subsequently Stack’s Bowers, October 2014 (David Gray Collection), as NGC VF Details Of these six coins, only the first two can be proven as being salvaged from the 1733 Fleet. While we cannot be sure that this census is complete, the rarity of the 1732 F 4 escudos is undeniably considerable, particularly in such choice grade and with an exciting shipwreck provenance, appealing to collectors of Mexican gold, Spanish colonial coinage, and shipwreck history alike. Together with the corresponding 2 escudos and 1 escudo of 1732 offered in the next two lots, this coin represents a unique opportunity to assemble a top-quality denomination set of the first machine-struck gold coins of the Americas. From the 1733 Fleet, pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of October 1993 (lot 149, plated on both covers of the catalog). Estimate: $50,000-up.
251
Sedwick Auction 40
1206. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 2 escudos, Philip V, 1732 F, extremely rare, NGC AU 58, finest known in NGC census, Calicó Plate. Cal-1894; KM-124; Fr-10. Highly lustrous and beautifully struck on a planchet broad enough to receive complete rim
details, with just a trifle wear or weakness in the locks of the wig and a few faint marks in the fields, one of only four confirmed examples of the highly desirable first date of machine-struck 2 escudos of the Americas (notably missing in the Banco de Mexico collection), especially significant as the finest known (by two grades) of just three in the NGC census, additionally interesting as illustrated in Calicó (2008). NGC #3735673-001. Plated as a rubbing on page 458 of Calicó’s 2008 edition of Numismática española. Estimate: $25,000-up.
1207. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 1 escudo, Philip V, 1732 F, extremely rare, NGC MS 61, “top pop,” ex-1733 Fleet, ex-Rudman. Cal-1744; KM-113; Fr-11. Rather choice strike, well centered on a broad flan, its fields resplendent with luster despite annular fric-
tion marks on obverse that appear to be the only reason this coin is not graded higher, also with die crack before ET that could be from the strength of strike, nonetheless decidedly the finest known of about six extant, the others being: one permanently impounded in the Banco de Mexico collection and one sold by Ponterio in March 1992, both F-VF; one holed and one damaged, sold in Sedwick Auctions 23 and 36, respectively; and another MS 61 in the NGC census that is visually less appealing. The extreme rarity of this jewel is further enhanced by its shipwreck origin, here presented with the above two lots as an opportunity to assemble a denomination set of the first machine-made gold coins from the Americas. NGC #2784567-001. Pedigreed to the Rudman Collection. Estimate: $25,000-up.
1208. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 2 escudos, Philip V, 1743 MF, extremely rare, PCGS AU58, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Rudman. Cal-1909; KM-124; Fr-10.
Brilliant luster, bright yellow color, bold and well-centered strike with full rims, slight weakness on wig and minor hairlines in obverse fields, to date the only graded example at either PCGS or NGC, the only other example we can find in the auction record being an ex-jewelry VF+, significantly missing in all the big collections of our time like Norweb, Eliasberg, and Caballero de las Yndias, on par with the previous three lots in terms of rarity but of course not the iconic first date of issue. Note, by the way, that the present coin was previously certified as 1743/2 by NGC, but PCGS did not see any evidence of that unlisted overdate, and neither do we. PCGS #47669795. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Collection (Heritage Auction of August 2015, lot 31034, as 1743/2). Estimate: $5,000-up.
1209. MEXICO, Mexico City, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1778 FF, very rare, PCGS AU55, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eliasberg, ex-Flanagan. Calico-1396; KM-
118.2; Fr-36. Well-defined strike with full rims outside of lovely red toning over luster, minor marks (old) and
trace of high-point wear, desirably pedigreed. This coin is the only example in the PCGS census, and it was formerly certified at the same grade by NGC, in whose census it still appears as the sole example there as well; we can find no other examples (certified or not) in recent auction records. PCGS #50919127. Pedigreed to the Eliasberg Collection (American Numismatic Rarities auction of April 2005, lot 3160) and to the Col. James W. Flanagan Collection (Stack’s auction of March 1944, lot 272). Estimate: $2,500-up.

but hairlined fields, toning around details, one of three certified by NGC as the overdate 1743/2 mentioned in Gilboy (M-1-15a), but we can see no evidence of 3/2, and Yonaka notes that he could not verify the overdate “despite numerous candidates having been put forth.” NGC #8228609-003. Estimate: $250-$375.

toning with strong contrast over bold design elements, including the mysterious assayer BA (Bruno Arriada), working for a brief time in this year only, a key rarity in the cap-and-rays series that Dunigan-Parker refers to as a “contender for the rarest coin of this mint... only a few specimens known,” one of only seven straight-graded by NGC.

unblemished full rims, rich gold color with ample original luster, just with too many light hairlines in the fields to garner a higher MS grade, nevertheless the top grade at either PCGS or NGC and in our opinion the finest known in terms of strike and overall quality for this date within the rare second “wigged bust” type from Lima.

Nice luster for the grade, well detailed, the obverse slightly off center, heavy diagonal adjustment mark on bust, desirable first date of type with the standard bust of Ferdinand VII. NGC #8907387-031. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $300-$450.
Cal-1180; KM-117.2. Deep gray toning with darker highlights around details (nice contrast), crude rims at bottom due to inexact centering, overall rather nice for the grade and desirable as a one-year type from this late mint. NGC #8907387-032. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $500-$750.

Peru (Provisional Republic)
Sedwick Auction 40
1294. PERU, Lima, copper provisional ¼ peso, 1823 V, PCGS MS62 Brown.
KM-138. Choice luster with rainbow toning, also choice strike except for central weakness on date side, which shows assayer V (scarcer variety for this one-year type), desirable highgrade example of an important provisional issue during Peru’s fight for independence. PCGS #58921488. Estimate: $300-$450.
Peru (State of North Peru)
1295. PERU (State of North Peru), Lima, 8 reales, 1837 TM, NGC UNC details / cleaned, ex-Almenara. KM-155. Brightly lustrous
around matte central elements, light hairlines, slightly off-center Liberty side, tiny spots of orange encrustation, overall an attractive example of this brief Est[ado] Nor-Peruano type. NGC #8907387-021. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $300-$450.
Peru (Republic of North Peru)
1296. PERU (Republic of North Peru), Lima, 8 reales, 1839 MB, rare, NGC VF 35, ex-Almenara, ex-Sellschopp, ex-Von Schuckmann. KM-164. Well-pedigreed example with light toning over muted
luster and hairlines from old cleaning, a few marks, weakly struck Liberty and top of date side. This important one-year type represents what the Von Schuckmann cataloger called “an historical anomaly,” as North Peru only existed as a State and not a Republic like it is rendered in the legend. That cataloger goes on to speculate that the worn Liberty-side die might mean this was “a later symbolic issue.” NGC #8907387-003. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection and to the Sellschopp Collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1988, lot 1123), both stated on label, and also to the Von Schuckmann Collection (Renaissance auction of December 2006, lot 938). Estimate: $600-$900.
Peru (Republic of South Peru)
1297. PERU (Republic of South Peru), Cuzco, 8 reales, 1837 BA, CONFEDERACION in small letters, NGC UNC details / cleaned, ex-Almenara. KM-170.2. Choice, well-detailed strike with good
luster, no wear but minimal marks and light hairlines. This type remains one of the most popular early Latin American crowns due to its highly artistic symbolism, consisting of a sunface on the date side plus volcano and Inca temple Coricancha on other side, this being the scarcer variety with CONFEDERACION written out in full. NGC #8907387-002. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $800-$1,200.
1298. PERU (Republic of South Peru), Cuzco, 8 reales, 1837 MS, CONFEDERACION in large letters, NGC AU details / tooled, ex-Almenara. KM-170.4. Typically choice strike in the popular sunface type,
with attractive golden toning over somewhat scrubbed surfaces, better variety with full word CONFEDERACION in slightly larger letters (also new assayer). NGC #8907387-017. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $600-$900.
1299. PERU (Republic of South Peru), Cuzco, 8 reales, 1838 BA, NGC MS 62, ex-Almenara. KM-170.4. Strong luster with uneven toning,
typically well-detailed strike and popular design, final date for this assayer using the new CONFEDERACION design in slightly larger letters, choice grade (within the top 11% of the entries in the NGC census). NGC #8907387-001. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

1300. PERU, Lima, 8 reales, 1829 JM, NGC MS 61, ex-Almenara. KM-142.3. Choice strike with rather bold full rims except around a small
natural void on edge, brilliant luster (faintly hairlined), a few tiny spots of toning. NGC #8907387-009. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $250-$375.
1301. PERU, Lima, white-metal 8 reales trial, 1834 MM, unique, ex-Almenara. KM-142.3 for type. Interesting off-metal trial strike (not recog-
nized as a genuine issue by NGC), with heavy edge bump due to the softer metal, AU grade with muted luster within legends, XRF tested at about 60% iridium, 30% lead, and 9% tin. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection. Estimate: $200-up.
1302. PERU, Lima, 8 reales, 1836 MT, NGC MS 61, ex-Almenara. KM-142.3. Brightly lustrous and well struck with full rims, surface hairlines.
NGC #8907387-011. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Esti-
mate: $200-$300.
1303. PERU, Lima, 8 reales, 1855 MB, NGC AU 58, ex-Almenara. KM-142.10a. Sharp strike, nice luster (a bit more muted on Liberty side), one-
year type with smaller lettering than the earlier issues. NGC #8907387-013. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $250-$375.
1304. PERU, 4 reales-sized proclamation medal, 1824-dated, Bolívar / Ayacucho, by Atanasio Dávalos, NGC VF 30. Fonrobert-9178. 33 mm. Obverse
with uniformed bust of Bolívar above engraver’s signature A. DAVALOS G. inside legend • A SU LIBERTADOR SIMON BOLIVAR•; reverse with arms of Peru inside legend EL PERU RESTAURADO EN AYACUCHO AÑO DE 1824 •; corded edge. Dark gunmetal-gray toning all over, a popular medal instituted by law in 1825 to commemorate the Battle of Ayacucho (1824), which signified the ultimate end of Spanish rule in Peru. NGC #2889453-013. Estimate: $200-$300.

breast on other side flat (and, unfortunately, thinly scratched), lightly toned all over, scarce host more normally seen with the Isabel II countermark. NGC #6964280-002. Estimate: $600-$900.
1306. PHILIPPINES (under Spain), Manila, 8 reales, Isabel II, crowned Y.II. countermark (Type IV, 1834-37) on a Santiago, Chile, “volcano” peso, 1834 IJ, NGC AU 50, c/s AU strong. Cal-668; KM-108. Choice example on the popular Chilean
volcano host, with an unusually bold and fully detailed crowned Y.II countermark placed prominently above the volcano, all deeply rainbow toned, sharp host details, a particularly desirable combination of a straight-graded AU host and AU strong countermark (not to mention that it is conservatively graded, in our opinion). NGC #8913922-021. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.
1307. PHILIPPINES (under Spain), Manila, 8 reales, Isabel II, crowned Y.II. countermark (Type VI, 1834-37) on a Santiago, Chile “volcano” peso, 1834 IJ, NGC XF 40, c/s XF strong (Colección Val y Mexía Label).

of reverse of AXF host with attractively contrasting toning, minor natural edge flaw. Estimate: $600-$900.
1309. PHILIPPINES (under Spain), Manila, 8 reales, Isabel II, crowned-Y.II. countermark (Type VI, 1834-37) on a Lima, Peru, 8 reales, 1833 MM, NGC AU details / cleaned, c/s AU strong, ex-Almenara. KM-138.2. Bold full countermark on
breast of Liberty on a broad-flan host with complete rims, light but colorful rainbow toning, minor marks but any evidence of cleaning long forgotten (or should have been). NGC #8907387-014. Pedigreed to the Almenara Collection (stated on label). Estimate: $500-$750.
1310. PHILIPPINES (under Spain), Manila, 8 reales, Isabel II, crowned-Y.II. countermark (Type VI, 1834-37) on a Lima, Peru, 8 reales, 1833 MM, NGC XF details / chopmarked, c/s AU strong, ex-Almenara. KM-138.2. Bold
full countermark on Liberty’s hip, the host with partially crude rims (as made), scarce combination with several bold chopmarks (mostly only Liberty side) from circulation in Asia, lightly toned over muted luster.

wheel luster, minor bagmarks, popular one-year type in desirable grade.
NGC #3392797-047. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.
Philippines (Republic)
1313. PHILIPPINES, struck in Munich, gold proof 100 piso, Ferdinand Marcos, 1975, Third Anniversary of The New Society, PCGS PR69 Deep Cameo, “top pop.” KM-213; Fr-6. Virtually perfect, just the slightest hint of high-point contact, currently
tied with 23 others for finest in the PCGS census, with just two finer (PF70UC) at NGC, interesting emission that was demonetized at the time of issue (AGW 0.2879). PCGS #39276425. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.
Portugal
1314. PORTUGAL, João IV, 100 reis countermark (Type I, 1642) on a Lisbon, Portugal, 80 reis, João III, NGC VF details / cleaned. Gomes-114.01. 6.75 grams. Very
bold full countermark in one quadrant of the host’s cross, full inner details and lots of legend despite uneven strike, with light toning on fields, any evidence of cleaning rather immaterial at this grade level. NGC #8243793-005. Estimate: $200-$300.
Puerto Rico (under Spain)
1315. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), copper military token, Isabel II, undated (mid-1800s), reeded edge, very rare, ex-Roehrs. Ulex-2445; Fonrob-
ert-7736; Eklund-2055. 14.72 grams. 35 mm. Obverse with outward-facing RL. SERVICIO
DE PLAZA. surrounding central ring with crown at top; reverse with 1R CUARTO. DE 8 A 10 IZQUIERDA. * around central ring; both sides with laurel rims; reeded edge. Deep chocolate-brown AU with faint hints of luster, possibly a trial for an issue that would have had a central hole punch. This mysterious piece holds a few clues to its time period and use. First, the crown and “real servicio” legend indicate a royal military connection, while the “primer cuarto” with a range of 8 to 10 points to a security watch, like at a military post (also note that Roehrs’ tag says 2 to 4 in error, indicative of a different time slot that he must have seen on another example). Finally, while the monarch is not specified on the token, it cannot be later than early 1870s because it appears in Fonrobert, which was published in 1878. Apart from a mention in a Dana Roberts group lot fifteen years ago, this is only example we have ever encountered. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with his original tag and photo of a drawing of the obverse, the tag erroneously stating “2 a 4 YZQUIERDA” for reverse design. Estimate: $200-up.
1316. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), struck at the Madrid Mint, 1 peso, Alfonso XIII, 1895 PG-V, NGC AU 58. Cal-128; KM-24. Choice luster with deep rainbow toning at rims, minor marks and hairlines but overall quite superior for the grade, an ever-popular crown struck for what is now a U.S. territory. NGC #8228605-001. Estimate: $800-$1,200.
269
Sedwick Auction 40 1317. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), 40 centavos, Alfonso XIII, 1896 PG-V, NGC VF 25. Cal-127; KM-23. Deeply toned, with oddly square-shaped dark spot on the bridge of Alfonso’s nose, rather conservatively graded compared to XF’s we’ve seen. NGC #3720750004. Estimate: $300-$450.
1318. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), 20 centavos, Alfonso XIII, 1895 PGV, NGC MS 62. Cal-126; KM-22. Lustrous and splashed with vivid rainbow toning in peripheries (lots of red and blue color), no marks or wear but some very faint underlying hairlines, desirable grade nonetheless (among the top 10% at NGC). NGC #3070638-021. Estimate: $500-$750.
1319. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Añasco, brass “5” token, no date (late 1800s), Buenaventura Íñigo, Comercio, extremely rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-unl;
Fumero-12. 4.58 grams. 27 mm. Fine or so, with the large central 5 clear, while the opposite side is largely effaced. Even medium brown surfaces with honest circulation and some striking weakness, nevertheless identifiable as this elusive Añasco merchant issue. The word COMERCIO is very faintly visible at the center of the reverse. The issuer is historically documented as Buenaventura Íñigo, an Añasco merchant listed in the 1894 Directorio Comercial é Industrial de la Isla de Puerto Rico under the Añasco section among VENDEDORES DE VÍVERES AL POR MENOR, confirming his activity as a retail groceries and provisions dealer. Rated RRR in Fumero, the “5” token is unlisted in Archilla-Diez, whereas both references list the “10.” While this piece is quite coppery in appearance, it has been XRF tested as containing about one third zinc (hence brass). Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with his tag 430. Estimate: $400-$600.
1320. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Vega Alta, brass uniface “S” token, no date (late 1800s), Hernández, “S en C,” reportedly unique, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-
unl; Fumero-unl. 9.38 grams. 30 mm. Fine or so, with deep olive-brown patina and moderate surface
roughness, yet retaining clear incuse design elements including portions of HERNANDEZ at top and, importantly, VEGA ALTA plainly readable along the lower border. Of particular interest are the unusual central devices: underlined S EN C at top and a larger S between darts at bottom. The meaning of these letters is unknown, but other examples exist with the lower letter as A, C, or L (Archilla-Diez numbers 577-579); this appears to be the first and only known example with S. The accompanying Edward Roehrs tag incorrectly identifies the locality as Vega Baja, an evident attribution or transcription error, as the token itself clearly reads VEGA ALTA. XRF: about 79% copper, 20% zinc, 1% silver. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with his tag 418. Estimate: $600-up.
1321. PUERTO RICO (under Spain), Mayagüez, copper-zinc-nickel 4 centavos token, no date (ca. 1890s), Antonio Frontera, Confitería La Bolsa, very rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-154 var; Fumero-68. 5.08 grams. 27 mm. Bold VF with strong peripheral
legends and attractive light golden-gray surfaces with brassy stain above the 4, weak UN, overall well preserved for the type. Issued for Antonio Frontera’s Confitería La Bolsa in Mayagüez (center ring reads “surtido completo de dulces y licores”), a confectionery documented as operating there by 1894. Note: Archilla-Diez lists this only in brass, while Fumero shows both brass and nickel, but XRF testing gives a reading of about 63% copper, 21% zinc, and 14% nickel. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with his tag 421. Estimate: $350-$500.
Puerto Rico 1322. PUERTO RICO, Bayamón(?), aluminum ½ real token, no date (late 1800s / early 1900s?), La Colonia Española, rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-628; Fumero-506. 1.6
grams. 25 mm. Bold UNC with bright, lustrous aluminum surfaces, sharp dentiled rims, strong details,
and a few areas of light toning. One side bears an artistic LA COLONIA brand device, while the other displays 1/2 CAJA. An unusually choice example of this seldom encountered denomination, with excellent eye appeal and definition. Reportedly a canteen token for a Bayamón social club known as La Colonia Española (some references attribute to Guatemala instead). Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection with his tag 419. Estimate: $300-up.

Session IV - November 6, 2026 9:00 AM EST
1323. PUERTO RICO, Guayanilla(?), brass 10 centavos token, no date (early 1900s), Santoni y Compañía, extremely rare, ex-Roehrs. Archilla-Diez-unl; Fumero-unl. 4.58 grams. 22 mm. Medi-
um-brown XF with strong details but obverse struck from a “sweaty” die, that side showing S & CO. in center encircled by CAFETIN • ALMACEN • PANADERIA, the reverse with large crosshatched 10 in center surrounded by GOOD FOR above and IN MERCHANDISE below. An enigmatic and rather rare Puerto Rican merchant issue attributed by Roehrs to Santoni, albeit with no place name visible on the token, and unlisted in either Archilla-Diez or Fumero. We note that a Santoni y Compañía is documented as a Puerto Rican mercantile concern in the early 1920s, owned by Domingo Santoni. Despite its coppery color, XRF shows it contains 13% zinc (hence brass). Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with his tag 417. Estimate: $350-$500.
1324. PUERTO RICO, Playa de Ponce, silvered brass “5” token, no date (early 1900s), Avelino González, Ship Chandler & General Marine Dealer, very rare, ex-Roehrs.
Archilla-Diez-063; Fumero-87. 3.69 grams. 22 mm. AVF with remaining silver on fields but design elements coppery, consisting of a large central 5 on both sides, one side with legend AVELINO GONZALEZ and stars, the other side with legend SHIP CHANDLER / PLAYA DE PONCE P.R. and stars. Avelino González was a general marine dealer in Ponce, whose business was established in 1870. Pedigreed to the Edward Roehrs Collection, with his tag 428. Estimate: $500-$750.
Spain (Al-Andalus) 1325. SPAIN (Al-Andalus), Almoravids, al-Mariya (Almería), AV dinar, Tashfin ibn Ali, 538 AH, rare. Vives-1861; Hazard-418. 4.14 grams. Choice UNC in rich gold color with 100% full and crisp details, tiny flan crack evident near bottom of reverse. Estimate: $1,750-$2,500.

1327. SPAIN (Aragón), Barcelona, 1 croat, Alfonso IV (1416-1458), circle and dots inverted, rare, NGC AU 53, finest known in NGC census, ex-Vidal Quadras (stated on label). Cru.V.S.-820; Badia-501 var; Cru.C.G.-2865. 3.19 grams. Obverse legend ALFONSUSDEI-
GR’AREX, reverse legend -CIUI-TASB-ARCh’-NONA, variety with circles in the upper-right and lower-left quadrants of the cross (inverted from the usual arrangement). Deeply cabinet toned in dark golden hues with traces of blue, choice strike with all legends and inner details clear, thin mark on face of king (Alfonso IV of Aragón, also known as Alfons V of Barcelona, as noted on the VQR tag), overall exceptional in quality and with an esteemed old pedigree. NGC #8905411-001. Pedigreed to the Vidal Quadras Collection (coin 5931, with original old tag) and the Aureo & Calicó auction of March 2014 (lot 58). Estimate: $2,500-up.

geous example in lustrous, bright yellow color, broad flan with sharply detailed full castles and lions inside cross, the shield on obverse also full and well detailed, complete Gothic legends on both sides, well centered and free of any doubling or weak strike, among the finest 15% graded by PCGS.

peacock toning all over, a symphony of vivid colors and luster on near-perfect surfaces, the strike just slightly off center but showing all details in Gothic-lettering magnificence, the sole finest of seven in the current PCGS census. PCGS #52626679. Estimate: $1,000-up.
1333. SPAIN (Castile and León), Seville, 1 real, Juan I (13791390), NGC AU 58. Cay-1443. 3.41 grams. Choice rainbow toning over luster, broad flan with full details including Gothic legends, faint diagonal ripple through center but in choice certified grade nonetheless. NGC #6289983-004. Estimate: $500-$750.

1338. SPAIN, Toledo, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer M-in-circle below mintmark oT to left, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census, ex-Casandra. Cal-748. 27.42 grams. Broad flan with full legends and crown, very sharp full inner details, richly toned over
muted luster, hairline edge crack, an impressively well-centered and well-detailed beauty from a period of massive silver production coming from the New World (ca. 1580), rarely found without intrusive doubling or unevenness, and of course unique in this top grade above seventeen other entries in the current NGC census.

Sedwick Auction 40
1339. SPAIN, Valladolid, cob 8 reales, Philip II, 1590 oF/oA, very rare, PCGS VF25, finest and only example in PCGS census. Cal-766. 27.05 grams. Very broad and nearly round flan with full but slightly doubled shield and crown, complete cross-and-tressure
with well-defined castles and lions, nearly full legends including bold date in small digits with 1 and 5 inverted, all nicely contrasting with deeply toned recesses. An interesting aspect of this issue is that the last two digits of the date are repeated to the left of the shield, above the wavy-lines mintmark, although that part is rather indistinct on the present example (due to the doubling), although the assayer oF/oA above denomination 8 on the right side is bold. Overall this is a choice example of the distinctively rare first dated Valladolid issue. Archival research published by Diego Álvarez Gómez and Ramón Sampietro García has identified assayer oF as Francisco Flores, via the record of his examination and license dated May 9, 1590, the same year as this coin, correcting the previous attribution to Fernando Flores by the Josep Pellicer i Bru. As this issue is only known with oF punched over oA, we must mention that an MS 62 at NGC labeled without the over-assayer is technically finer, but it is the only one. PCGS #55958296. Estimate: $5,000-up.
1340. SPAIN, Granada, cob 4 reales, Philip II, assayer oF above denomination o-IIII to right, mintmark G to left.

Estimate: $400-$600.

showing complete 161 and right part of 0 (shifted counterclockwise due to doubling) outside of choice full cross-and-tressure, the crown and shield on obverse also full and well detailed with bold oT-C to left inside of the king’s ordinal III, all in high grade (AU-) with traces of encrustation in crevices. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
well-centered full shield and cross-castles-lions, but without any peripheral details due to flatness and the flan’s thickness, still a beautiful coin, lightly toned AU- with darker area to left of shield. Estimate: $250-$375.
1345. SPAIN, Toledo, cob 4 reales, Philip III, 1617 (V).

(17.3 for type). 6.63 grams. AVF with full shield and cross, the latter with rather clear 612 of date above,
which is unlisted but can be assumed based on the existence of 1613/2, also full G-M to left and denomination II to right of shield, toned in crevices, a few heavy old marks. Estimate: $200-$300.
Philip IV
1349. SPAIN, Madrid, cob 8 reales, Philip IV, assayer V (1620s), mintmark MD in monogram reading horizontally, rare, NGC XF 40, finest known in NGC census. Cal-Type 309; KM-74. 27.20 grams. Deeply toned
over sharp details in full crown and shield with just the right side of the mintmark and assayer visible to the left, also full cross-castles-lions, thick and uneven flan with peripheral flatness, technically sole finest in the NGC census for examples without visible date (and no dated examples listed for this mint and type).

1350. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 8 reales, Philip IV, 1636 R, NGC MS 62. Cal-1610; KM-39.6. Typically sharp full details per the roller-press

flan (more like a Mexican cob) with partially ragged edge (as made), dark toning all over, full cross and shield, significantly with the date, mintmark, and assayer all very clear, hence a great example of an interesting episode in Spanish numismatic history when older mints (like Burgos) were re-opened in order to handle the massive re-coining of recalled silver after the Potosí mint scandal. NGC #6640175-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.
1353. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 8 reales, Philip IV, 1659/32/1/0 BR/I, rare. Cal-1596; KM-unl (76 for type). 26.19 grams.

grams. Thick and sharply seven-sided flan with superb luster and very bold strike, including choice full crown and shield with large (re-punched)
8 to right inside bold king’s name PHILIPVS [sic], aqueduct mintmark to left above weak but certain assayer M, beautifully complete crossand-tressure with full 16 and bottom half of 59 of date showing the 5 punched over a 2 (since this is the first date after a 1620s series), unique in this top grade (next finest being AU 53).

latter off center), small edge cracks, much peripheral flatness but with base of 2 and tail of 9 of date clear, finest graded for the type without visible date (as NGC did not see the date). NGC #8538168-051. Estimate: $350-$500.

Thick flan exhibiting a well-centered full shield with good crown above, full B assayer to left below monogram-MD mintmark facing inward, most of king’s name in legend, good but off-center cross with full final digit 1 of date to right (this mint and period known for random rotations), lustrous surfaces that beg a higher grade (finest certified in any case). NGC #8538168-059. Estimate: $700-$1,000.
Charles II 1357. SPAIN, Segovia, milled 8 reales, Charles II, 1687 BR, “Maria” type, rare, NGC VF 35. Cal-774; KM-210.2. Lovely smooth surfaces with rich rainbow toning over faint luster, rare brief type in lower weight reflecting an emergency conversion rate of 10 reales to the previous 8 reales, its nickname stemming from the monogram above the date (which some believe stands for Mariana, Charles II’s mother, who acted as regent due to her son’s ill health). NGC #8914050-001. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

rich gold color, the reverse slightly off center, rare date but also a rare variety with elements inside tressure dimples in a different order than usual (8-S-8-M versus M-8-S-8), not noted by NGC but probably of interest to the specialist. NGC #4923269-010. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

1383. UNITED STATES, Philadelphia mint, gold $3 Indian Princess, 1861, NGC AU 53. The 1861 $3 had a paltry mintage of

FERN.o VII . REI D. / LAS ESPANAS.; reverse with lion holding shield inside legend D. MONTEU.e LE PROC.o CAR.s CEP. 24D. 1812 DOM.o with ornate rim; plain edge.

Venezuela (Barinas “imitation cobs”)
1392. VENEZUELA, Barinas (Caujaral), “imitation cob” 1 real , “1814” date (1817-19), inverted 4, very rare, NGC AU 58, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-534 var; KM-2 var. 1.38 grams. Typically thin, octagonal flan, with full cross-castles-lions and pillars-and-waves with bold date 1814 showing a retrograde 4 (an unlisted variety), very choice grade for this type, lightly toned and lustrous, a rare and important piece for the Venezuelan specialist. Between 1817 and 1819, General José Antonio Páez took control of the Venezuelan plains (los Llanos) and ordered the minting of provisional silver coins—starting with 2 reales and later 1-real coins like this one—to pay his troops by using melted-down silver jewelry and other ornaments like stirrups and sword scabbards. NGC #8906603-003. Estimate: $1,000-up.
Venezuela (Caracas) and Colombia “imitation cobs” 1393. (VENEZUELA) COLOMBIA, round “imitation cob” 2 reales, fantasy date “184” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed, NGC VF 35. Cal-747; KM-C13.1. While
currently cataloged as Caracas, this piece is on a round flan (weight not specified in the slab) as opposed to the irregular flans of Caracas issues, and punches are different as well, so experts are now assigning it to Santa Marta in Colombia. Good full cross and lions and castles showing bold denomination 2 above and below and M to left, full but slightly off-center pillars-and-waves with particularly bold date, old marks to left, richly toned all over. NGC #6952943-003. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.
1394. VENEZUELA, Caracas, “imitation cob” 2 reales, fantasy date “741” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed. Cal-750; KM-C13.1. 5.80 grams. Choice and well-centered full pillars
with bold 741 “date,” off-center cross with 2 above and L to right, toned XF+ with traces of luster but also some dark horn silver. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of June 2001, with original lot-tag 1446 (trimmed). Estimate: $500-$750.
1395. (VENEZUELA) COLOMBIA, round “imitation cob” 2 reales, fantasy date “931” (ca. 1815), quadrants of cross transposed, rare, NGC XF details / holed. Cal-937 (under
Santa Marta); KM-unl (C13.1 for Caracas type). While traditionally cataloged as Caracas, this piece is on a round flan (weight not specified in the slab) as opposed to the irregular flans of Caracas issues, and punches are different as well, so experts are now assigning it to Santa Marta in Colombia. Well-centered full cross and pillars-and-waves, clear 931 “date,” deep but uneven pink-purple toning, crude hole near edge, misattributed by NGC to C-12 (the KM listing for Caracas 1 real “931”). NGC #6952943-002. Estimate: $750-$1,100.
Venezuela (Caracas Republican) 1396. VENEZUELA, Caracas, 2 reales, 1818-dated (struck ca. 1830) BS, florets flanking cross with quadrants transposed, struck over a Spanish bust 2 reales of 1806, rare, NGC VF 30. Cal-740; KM-C36. Deeply toned with traces of underlying muted luster,
fully detailed but also with most of the legends and date of the under-coin plainly visible (not noted by NGC, which erroneously labeled it as the “F7” royalist type anyway), albeit without mintmark or assayer, in any case quite rare with so much of the over-struck issue showing. NGC #6960182-004. Estimate: $350-$500.
1397. NO LOT.

Venezuela (under Gran Colombia)
1398. VENEZUELA, Caracas, ¼ real, 1822, variety with tip of cornucopia between 8 and 2, NGC AU details / cleaned. KM-C34; Stohr-14. Bold strike with splashes of colorful toning (mostly
indigo) over golden luster, light hairlines, scarce type with “19” in center referring to the Act of April 19, 1820, that initiated Venezuela’s fight for independence. NGC #6960182-003. Estimate: $500-$750.
1399. VENEZUELA, Caracas, ¼ real, 1829, variety with tip of cornucopia between 8 and 2, NGC AU 53. KM-C34;
Stohr-14. Broad flan with full rim design (obverse slightly off center),
light rainbow toning over muted luster. NGC #2856402-003. Estimate: $300-$450.
1400. (VENEZUELA) NICARAGUA, brass ¼ real token, no date, Isidro Olivares / El Oazis, PCGS MS64, finest and only example in PCGS census (as Venezuela). Rulau-Ven83; Stohr-F94. Obverse with JSIDRO / OLIVARES above a cluster of four diamonds; reverse with EL / OAZIS / UN / CUARTILLO; plain edge. Bright and lustrous brass color with faint rainbow tones, so choice that we believe it was either a sample or specimen strike. In 1965, numismatist Tomás Stohr mistakenly catalogued this issue as a Venezuelan token in his well-known publication Venezuela Numismática, but later research and cataloging by experts such as Fauver corrected the attribution to Nicaragua. PCGS #47694394. Estimate: $300-$450.

Listed by Fonrobert as from Peru and attributed likewise by NGC. Sharply struck central devices with the full radiate design visible, broad original surfaces exhibiting light gray to champagne toning and considerable underlying mint brilliance, with scattered fine adjustment or preparation lines typical of the issue. An unusually well-preserved example of this scarce historical medal and particularly desirable at the Mint State level. NGC #8906541-001. Estimate: $1,250-up.

Colombia (Republic)
1407. COLOMBIA (formerly Venezuela), large silver medal, dated 1828 (struck 1829), Bolívar saved from assassination, rare. Urdaneta Braschi-I.A.12. 43.97 grams. 44 mm. Obverse
with bust of Bolívar right atop a pedestal; reverse with all-seeing eye within radiant pyramid above L.D.P. / SALVO LA VIDA / DEL LIBERTADOR / SIMON BOLIVAR / LA NOCHE DEL 25. DE SEP. / DE 1828; smooth edge with loop at top. Rare and historically important medal commemorating the failed assassination attempt against Simón Bolívar on the night of September 25, 1828, the event from which the medal derives its familiar nickname, the “Septembrina.” Reportedly two examples were struck in gold and ten originally in silver, although perhaps ten to fifteen additional silver examples are now believed to exist. Long attributed to Venezuela, the medal was reassigned to Colombian manufacture following research presented by Carlos Bacalao at the 2019 NUMISCOL convention in Bogotá, including evidence that the original dies are preserved in the Museo Nacional in Bogotá. Recent research, with further articles forthcoming, also links the initials L.D.P. to a Masonic lodge, an interpretation reinforced by the all seeing eye within a radiant pyramid, rather than the traditional explanations of “La Divina Providencia” or Bolívar’s aide L.D. Palacios. Nicely toned AU with rich red and golden hues in the center ceding to dark blue around the rim on obverse, lustrous reverse with minor hairlines, the loop for suspension lightly soldered to the top. Estimate: $1,500-up.

A famous and important medal, both for British medal collectors (who refer to it as the “Recovery of Treasure at St. Domingo” medal) and American historians, but also for the growing legions of shipwreck enthusiasts, as this piece was commissioned in commemoration for the salvage of the Spanish ship Concepción (sunk in 1641 off Hispaniola) by New Englander Sir William Phips and struck using silver actually recovered from the wreck.

An imposing large-format medal commemorating the celebrated monument later known to Mexicans as “El Caballito,” or “The Little Horse,” in reference to an equestrian statue erected by the Marquis of Branciforte in honor of the king.

Peru (Republic)
1430. PERU, gilt bronze oval medal with loop, 1824-dated, Bolívar / Battle of Ayacucho, by Atanasio Dávalos, NGC UNC details / cleaned. Fonrobert-9179. 11.25
grams. Obverse with uniformed bust of Bolívar, engraver’s initials A D below, legend • A SU
LIBERTADOR SIMON BOLIVAR•; reverse with arms of Peru, wreath above and laurel/ palm branches below, inside legend • EL PERU RESTAURADO EN AYACUCHO ANO DE 1824; plain edge, with integrated loop at top. This elegant medal commemorates Bolívar’s campaign in Peru, starting with the Battle of Pichincha in 1822 and ending with the Battle of Ayacucho in 1824. It was created by decree under José Maria Galdiano on February 12, 1825, for the Congress of El Peru and given to military officers for their roles in the Battle of Ayacucho, which finally ended Spanish rule in Peru. Interestingly, the H in AYACUCHO is over an erroneously punched E. Nicely struck example with bold details on the high relief bust of Bolívar, faint hairlines in fields, rare with the integrated loop at top and in this high of grade. NGC #8905381-001. Estimate: $700-up.
1431. PERU, Republic (pre-confederation), silver uniface military award medal, no date (late 1830s), RESTAURADOR DE LA PATRIA, Felipe Santiago Salaverry, issued for the Callao uprising of 1835, extremely rare. Medina (Medallas Chilenas)-36 (p. 116, Plate IV, 5), misattributed to Chile.
Hexagonal striated field within laurel wreath and elaborate six-pointed frame, legend RESTAURADOR DE LA PATRIA, fortress above, inkwell with two plumes at lower left, and armored hand holding sword at lower right; integral suspension loop above. This is an important military decoration from the critical political and military transition immediately preceding the establishment of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation, issued during the brief government of Felipe Santiago Salaverry and associated with the pronouncement of the Callao garrison on February 23, 1835. Medina tentatively attributed this type to the Chilean capture of Valdivia based on stylistic similarities (his example fully round, not cut to the design like this one is), while Alejandro Rosa later identified it as a Peruvian award granted by Salaverry to the troops of the Callao fortresses. Extremely rare, with only about four or five examples known in silver and two examples known in gold. Mint State with sharply struck details, very deeply toned with blue hues about the dark gray field, mint luster in center, minor hairlines, holed at top for suspension, the blank reverse quite lustrous and lightly toned in the center with dark blue around the edge. A choice example of a key historical medal. Estimate: $2,000-up.

Spanish Colonial
Sedwick Auction 40
1437. SPANISH COLONIAL, uniface silver military medal with oval hanger, Ferdinand VII, no date (ca. 1808-1820s), Premio del Valor, extremely rare. Medina (Medallas coloniales hispano-americanas)-14. 40.83 grams. 46 mm. For the serious collector of Latin American military decorations, this is an exceptional and historically important royalist Medal for Valor bearing the uniformed bust of Ferdinand VII facing right between PREMIO to left and DEL VALOR to right, uniface and made for suspension. Choice AU grade with lovely rainbow toning over luster and hairlines from old cleaning. This type was misidentified as a Bolívar decoration in the February 1911 Jacques Schulman sale of the Oscar Salbach Collection, where lot 1555 was described as a gold medal with the bust of Bolívar and PREMIO DEL VALOR. Another example in silver was listed elsewhere in the same sale, showing that the type was made in both metals. This erroneous Bolívar attribution was later repeated in 1932 by Harrold E. Gillingham in his book South American Decorations and War Medals (p. 55). José Toribio Medina, however, had already correctly identified the type in 1919 as bearing the bust of Ferdinand VII in a detailed description matching this piece, including the uniface format and suspension ring. Even Medina could not come up with a geographical location, however, nor did Salbach. Until further documentary evidence establishes a specific issuing authority, the most we can say is that it is a Spanish American royalist issue. The only examples known to us besides the present lot are the Salbach specimens in both gold and silver and the Medina specimen in silver. Clearly, this is an extremely rare piece worthy of the most select collections of military awards, decorations, and proclamations. Estimate: $3,000-up.

legend FERNANDO. VII / DEI GRATIA; reverse with winged angel holding palm frond and wreath with one foot standing on globe, legend PROCLAMADO EL DIA XII DE AGOSTO DE 1808 •, with MTo. at bottom. AU grade with reworked devices, chased and hairlined fields to bring out details, which are also accentuated by reddish toning in crevices. Numismatically important as the third and largest design for Ferdinand VII Montevideo proclamation medals, with proper bust as opposed to that of Charles IV. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

This series circulated in the southern Province of Valdivia, issued in denominations of 4 and 8 reales between 1840 and 1844, and recalled almost in its entirety. Unredeemed notes are unknown and presentable examples of this very scarce 4 reales denomination are rare.

the first notes issued by the Banco de Bogotá after its founding in 1870. Its ornate design, created by Perkins, Bacon and Co. of London, is sharply rendered in black ink with several circular red denominators throughout, the reverse showing a large design centered around the signature of the Cajero. While circulated with some stains and a small internal split near the left margin, the sharpness of the design suggests a higher grade than assigned. This is the only example recorded to date for this denomination and series issued during the existence of the Banco de Bogotá. PMG #8086533-076.

A mildly handled note with some minor tears in the left margin and a faded ink stamp at lower right on the face.

lombian banknote rarity as the only known example, this large format Agencia Bancaria note possesses great eye appeal as the handling wear is modest and the printing is bold throughout.

this Banco del Progreso 20 pesos apparently saw circulation for some time before being saved, leading to this opportunity to acquire a note which went undocumented for a very long time. The design, printed locally in Medellín, is a bit crude yet legible with clear red-inked date and signature. Several ink stamps are located on both sides including a black Departamento de Antioquia stamp. A few stain spots are seen along with an internal tear at bottom center yet are understandable given its circulation. PMG #8048157-001. Pedigreed to the J. Cuartas Collection (stated on label).

The Vlack reference states: “Specimens examined indicate they were part of a hoard recovered from the French frigate, St Geran, that sunk [sic] during a gale when it struck shoals en route to the Île de France (Mauritius) on August 17, 1744.” The story of the St. Geran’s sinking includes the tragic death of a young French lady traveling back from France to idyllic Mauritius (then known as Île de France) along with her betrothed, a crew member, her death ostensibly due to a prudish refusal to remove her clothing to keep from drowning, tragically choosing modesty over survival. In 1788 this anecdote became the core of the best-selling novel Paul et Virginie, by the French author Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, which also extolled the virtues of living harmoniously on an island without the constraints of social class divisions. A bit corroded yet with much of the legends quite legible, encrusted with verdigris and sedimentation. With old tag describing a shell fragment in the encrustation as “apparently a pc. of TOOTH.” Estimate: $100-$150.

S.S. City of Roubaix, sunk in 1941 off Piraeus, Greece
1665. TURKEY, Central Bank, 50 kurus, 1930, series A24, serial 325703, PMG Choice VF 35. Pick-133. In 1940, the Turkish
government contracted Bradbury Wilkinson to print new 50 kurus with President Inonu’s portrait. This shipment, along with new 100lira notes printed by Thomas de la Rue, were then shipped to Turkey aboard the SS City of Roubaix. On April 6, 1941, the vessel was docked in the harbor of Piraeus, Greece, when German intelligence notified the Luftwaffe that a British ship, the SS Clan Fraser, was unloading weapons and explosives in the same harbor. German bombers were scrambled and commenced a bombing run on the target. The SS City of Roubaix had the misfortune of being docked alongside the SS Clan Fraser. Both vessels were bombed, caught fire, and sank. Shortly thereafter, the 50 kurus and 100 lira from the SS City of Roubaix began to float ashore, their shipping crates breached during the attack. Many notes were recovered by Greeks who then traveled to Turkey to spend them. As such, both denominations entered circulation unofficially, forcing the Turkish government to annul them and print a new version (Pick-134). Modestly circulated note with light staining around the edges, one of the few available examples of shipwreck paper money. PMG #8059478-009. Estimate: $125-$200.

remains of an ancient clay pot and the consignor postulates that this is the base of an Etruscan vase, which we cannot prove but seems likely considering this wreck was carrying the collection of Lord Hamilton, a famous collector of ancient Greek and Roman vases, among other things.
