TERMS AND CONDITIONS

By participating in this auction, you (hereafter referred to as the “Bidder”) are entering into a binding contract with Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC (“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 non-live 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.

2) Winning bids will be reduced automatically by the iCollector 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, even if acting as an agent for someone else, agrees to purchase the lot(s) he has won and to pay the Buyer’s Premium and any shipping costs, sales tax, bank-wire fees, customs duties, or other surcharges involved in delivering the lot(s) to the Buyer. Certain lots (particularly artifacts) may require special packaging and handling, for which a surcharge will be levied (also note shipping calculations will 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. If payment has not been received within these terms, the Auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot(s) to any under-bidders for their lower bid amounts. If the winning bidder provides a credit card before the sale, Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC reserves the right to charge the credit card for the total of the auction purchases if payment has not been received within thirty (30) calendar days. Title to each lot does not pass until the item has been paid in full. Any late payments (30 days past invoice date) will be assessed an accrued interest charge of 5% per month.

4) Lot pickup will be available after the auction (not during). Any lots not picked up in person (unless other arrangements are made) will be sent to Buyer via U.S. Mail 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 (insurance available in some cases). Daniel Frank Sedwick, 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 there is the buyer’s responsibility alone. Any special instructions for shipping, delivery or payment must be in writing (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 new UK and EU regulations regarding VAT collection on international purchases, we are no longer able to ship orders under £135 to the United Kingdom or under €150 to any countries in the EU. 6) A Buyer’s Premium of 20% will be added to the winning bid for the total purchase price before any applicable taxes, fees or surcharges. Any payments by credit/debit card will incur a 2% surcharge on the total; payments by PayPal will include a 4% surcharge.

7) Acceptable forms of payment are cash, check, echeck, money order, wire transfer, direct deposit, PayPal, Zelle, Visa/MC, American Express and Discover.

All payments by check or money order should be made payable to Daniel Frank Sedwick, 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 (must be paid via wire beyond that). 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 be necessarily added to the amount to be paid, generally depending on the country from which the wire originates. Note: Overseas/international wires are not allowed for amounts below $1000.

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, but if you are a winning bidder, your deposit will be applied to your purchase unless other arrangements are made. Any bidders with an overdue balance with Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC must complete payment of their previous balance before their bids will be accepted.

9) Bidders have several options for bidding method: Bids prior to the auction may be submitted by mail, fax, email, or in person, or by bidding online directly on iCollector or via NumisBids. During the live auction, bids may be executed only in person, online directly on iCollector, or by phone by prior appointment. 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) have the option of preemptive bidding, in which our system will place a full maximum bid amount during live bidding when the asking price is a single increment under the maximum bid, which means it might skip and move to the maximum bid during live bidding, even if past the increment. 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 only occurs 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. Any reserve will generally be at or below the stated low estimate and starting price. All estimates are given in U.S. dollars.

11) As an active dealer, Daniel Frank Sedwick, 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 iCollector 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 his own needs.

12) All items are guaranteed genuine and as described. Daniel Frank Sedwick, 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. Note that 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 Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC shall stand. Any disputes, including proposed returns, must be brought to our attention no later than

18)

2 days after receipt of the lot(s) by the Buyer and BEFORE return shipment to us, with any applicable refunds to be made immediately upon receipt of the returned item(s) 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 (note that late remittance, therefore, can negate return privileges). Any refunds for returns paid for by credit card will be subject to a 2% return fee; those paid by PayPal will incur a 4% return fee. In the event of loss or damage, Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC’s liability shall be limited to the hammer price plus buyer’s fee only. NGC or PCGS census data (“finest known,” etc.) are given based on the date of cataloging and are not presumed to be accurate forever. Note that any group-lots returned due to error in listing must be returned in entirety. Where not already included in the lot description, we will provide our own certificate of authenticity upon request by the buyer for a fee.

In case of loss or theft the guaranty is limited to either the reserve price (if unsold) or the hammer price plus buyer’s fee (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/consignor. Any potential or speculative value is not guaranteed.

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 iCollector 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 of 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 plus the holder prongs may not be visible.

If 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 (hammer plus buyer’s fee) for all items that are NOT coins or bullion, and to all non-U.S. coins whose cumulative total is less than $500. Same applies to lots shipped to Florida addresses, but the rate (6% to 7.5%) will be according to county of delivery. There is no Florida sales tax on U.S coins or on any lots shipped out of state, or total coin/bullion purchase over $500.

All bidders and consignors acknowledge and agree that the Auctioneer (Daniel Frank Sedwick, 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 iCollector 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 conducted in accordance with the auction laws of the State of Florida. The licensed auctioneer is Daniel Frank Sedwick, AU#3635, 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. All Bidders must meet Auctioneer’s qualifications to bid. Any Bidder who is not a client in good standing of the Auctioneer may be disqualified at Auctioneer’s sole option and will not be awarded lots. Such determination may be made by Auctioneer in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during, or even after the close of the Auction. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person or company from the Auction. Daniel Frank Sedwick, 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.

Treasure, World, U.S. Coin and Paper Money Auction 30

Live In-Person & on the Internet, Thursday-Friday & Monday, November 4-5 & 8, 2021

We’re excited to host our first live floor auction since the beginning of the pandemic over a year and a half ago. While our past three online-only sales were immensely successful and record-breaking, we missed visiting with the many bidders that attend our live floor auctions.

There’s something to be said about bidding on and seeing these treasures in person, which is why we’re grateful to be at this point.

Session I begins with Gold Cobs, which hosts a number of choice 1715 Fleet coins including a 1711 J Mexico cob 8 escudo Royal (lot 16), an extremely rare 1714 Mexico cob 8 escudos struck with a Royal obverse die (lot 18), one of the nicest 1712 Lima 8 escudos we’ve ever handled (lot 29), and a fascinating 1702 Bogotá cob 2 escudos with the date rendered as “2071” reading outward (lot 63). Notable nonwreck gold cobs in this section include a 1698/7 M Seville 8 escudos plated in both Calicó and Tauler reference works (lot 14), plus a rare and unlisted 1751 S Bogotá cob 8 escudos (lot 58). The latter is pedigreed to the featured Fernandina Collection, a curated group of some very high grade and rare gold cobs, both wreck and non-wreck, that will no doubt attract much attention.

The Shipwreck Ingots section is strongly influenced by lots from the Atocha (1622) due to next year’s 400th anniversary of the sinking. We feature one impressive gold “finger” bar (lot 67) from the wreck alongside a total of five large silver ingots (lots 71-75). Coins from the Atocha feature prominently in Shipwreck Coins with some 70+ lots up for bidding, including a very rare Lima cob 2 reales Philip II assayer X (lot 87). Other lots of note include coins from the Capitana (1654) and Maravillas (1656) wrecks predigreed to the Mastalir Collection of Countermarked Potosí cobs, a wide selection of Dutch portrait and rider ducatoons from the Akerendam (1725)(lots 288-332), our first offering of an NGC-graded Mexico cob 8 reales from the pirate ship Whydah (1717)(lot 280), and an assortment of world and US gold coins salvaged from the popular SS Central America (1857)(lots 396-406).

In Mexico Silver Cobs, we offer several extremely rare cob 8 reales Royals like a 1613 F (lot 424), a 1706 J (lot 430), and a 1715 J (lot 432) in addition to a desirable 1728/6/5 D pedigreed to the Rooswijk (1739). Lima Silver Cobs hosts the quite rare 1686 R Lima cob 8 reales Royal (Lot 490) in addition to several other rare types. Many more rare Royals can be found in the Potosí Silver Cobs section including a very difficult to acquire 1656 E Potosí cob 8 reales Royal (lot 635). Bidders’ hearts will be beating strongly for lots 741 and 808 - the finest and only graded 1696 VR cob 4 reales and 1734 E cob 1 real Hearts. Two key collections within this session are the Barry Stallard Research Collection of Early Lima, La Plata and Potosí Cobs (see lot 505 for the immensely rare La Plata piece) and the Jorge Ugaz Collection of Potosí Cob 8 and 4 Reales.

On the second day of the auction, the wide selection found in World Coins should draw spirited bidding from all over the world.

Such rarities there include a fresh-to-the-market Japanese proof 20 sen dated Meiji year 13 (1880)(lot 1173), two Segovia-minted rarities - a gold 4 excelentes of Ferdinand-Isabel (lot 1276) and a massive 50 reales cincuentín dated 1620 (only our second offering of this rare denomination!)(lot 1315), and the finest NGC-graded 1745 MF Mexico pillar 8 reales (lot 1184). The presence of a 1621 A Cartagena (Colombia) cob 8 reales from the “Dry Tortugas wreck” (1622) as lot 885 is especially fitting as this year is the 400th anniversary of the striking of these first coins from the mint in Cartagena - an event we will be celebrating in December while attending the Cartagena Numismatic Congress.

We are very pleased to offer several collections within this session: the exclusive J.O.B. Collection of Seville Gold Coins (lots 12511275) packed with many finest and only known graded pieces, the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money, and Part II of the Antigua Collection of Guatemalan Cobs.

One further collection to note is the John Adams Collection of Admiral Vernon Medals in Medals and Decorations. His feature article preceding the lots explains his personal collecting journey how this top-notch collection came to be.

U.S. Coins and Paper Money hosts some branch-mint gold coins from Dahlonega (lot 1411) and Charlotte (lot 1415) plus some popular early American currency like the 1798 Draped Bust silver dollar (lot 1419), the 1794 Flowing Hair large cent (lot 1434), and the grade-rarity 1777-dated South Carolina $20 colonial note (1451). World Paper Money contains some desirable type notes such as the Argentina 1 peso remainder of 1827-9 with portraits of Washington and Bolívar (lot 1456), the rare Cartagena (Colombia) Estado Soberano de Bolívar 10 pesos note of 1885 (lot 1459), and the spectacular Banco Internacional de Costa Rica 100 colones error note dated to the year “2931” (lot 1464).

Following an assortment of popular Greek, Roman, and Byzantine coinage designs in Ancient Coins, the Coin Jewelry section offers a wealth of mounted Atocha (1622) silver coins (lots 1540-1568) plus a visually impressive 1714 J Mexico gold cob 8 escudos in a special 1715 Fleet pendant setting (lot 1537).

Shipwreck Artifacts has many interesting salvaged items such as a pocket sundial from the HMS Winchester (1695), previously seen in a 1977 issue of National Geographic magazine (lot 1589), as well as an ornate gold toothpick from the 1715 Fleet (lot 1590). Finally, some notable lots in Non-Wreck Artifacts include an arsenal of flintlock pistols (lots 1605-1610) plus a long Spanish miquelet officer’s musket (lot 1604). The following Monday, we end the auction with an Express session with 400+ lots of lower priced coins, currency, and artifacts.

We wish you the best of luck in bidding, whether online or in person, with special thanks to all of our consignors!

The Daniel Frank Sedwick, LLC team: Daniel Sedwick, Agustín (Augi) García-Barneche, Cori Sedwick Downing, Connor Falk

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.

16. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 escudos Royal (galano), 1711

J, NGC UNC details / damaged, ex-1715 Fleet, ex-Rudman.

S-M30; KM-R57.1; Cal-2192. 26.80 grams. Full and sharp details all over de-

spite damage from its time on the reef that rendered the coin somewhat oblong in shape (and thereby kept it from being recognized as a Royal early on), with much luster and traces of toning and no evidence of actual circulation wear. The date 1711 is the first and most numerous of the “Crosslet Cross” type (1711-13) of Mexican 8E Royals, with a current population of ten known examples for this date, only three of which (including this one) were known prior to the “tricentennial” bonanza in 2015 (300th Anniversary Find). A great opportunity for the cob collector who always wanted a chance to get an 8 escudos Royal at this starting level. From the 1715 Fleet and pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet NGC #6269469-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $25,000-up.

17. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 escudos, 1711 J, ornate-tressure cross, NGC UNC details / saltwater damage, ex-1715

Fleet, ex-Ullian. S-M30; KM-57.1; Cal-2207. 26.89 grams. Lightly toned all over with slight matte appearance due to sand-washing (typical for

this date), full and bold oXMJ and denomination VIII flanking full shield with tiny flat spot near top only, full cross with flatness and slight doubling at bottom, interesting sub-type of 1711-12 only with “ears” for tressures in cross angles (what NGC calls “bar-end cross”), much legend including clear bottom half of date, good pedigree. From the 1715 Fleet, with Lou Ullian certificate (Real Eight Co.) and Phil Flemming photo-certificate from 2010, pedigreed to the Fernandina collection (stated on label) and to the Cayón auction of July 2016, with original lot-tag 1203. NGC #5965185-003 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.

Bright butter-yellow color, choice full shield and cross, the former very crisply detailed and with small ornamental florets in the spaces as struck from a Royal die (Tauler #395a), and with bold date to boot, an extremely rare specialty piece for the advanced gold-cob collector, with probably no more than two or three known of this variety (not listed in the NGC census), effectively an opportunity to own an 8 escudos Royal at a price closer to that of a regular-issue coin. From the 1715 Fleet, with certificates, and pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of April 2000, with original lot-tag 800. NGC #5965257-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $20,000-up.

doubled) with full oMJ and most of denomination VIII/IIIV (one of several diagnostic errors for this die), superb full cross-and-tressure (well centered) with parts of all four digits of date visible, nice luster all over. From the 1715 Fleet, with old photo-certificate 80006 from the salvor.

NGC #5967815-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

Choice full cross-and-tressure, full and well-detailed shield that is off-center enough to render the king’s ordinal in legend full and bold, curious red and black staining on both sides, file marks (as made) in peripheries. From the 1715 Fleet. NGC #6268660-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label).

Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

full crown and legends, including bold RX (lacking the E) and C.II for Charles II, bold full pillars-and-waves and cross-lions-castles, the former doubled but highly lustrous, overall a stunning coin in top grade (currently tied with five others in the NGC census), just as lovely as they come. From the 1715 Fleet, with original Queens Jewels “Tricentennial Hoard” photo-certificate 79503. NGC #2819587-001 (1715 Fleet 300th Anniversary Find Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $15,000-up.

Consign to our Auction #31 May 2022 14

25. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1704 H, ISPANIAR variety, rare, NGC AU 58, ex-1715 Fleet. S-L25a; KM-38.1; Cal-2111. 26.84 grams. Perfectly round flan with choice, full and well-centered cross-lions-castles inside full legend, the pillars-and-waves also full and bold but

slightly off-center, with full crown above, traces of light sediment on fields, maybe just lacking in the luster usually required for an MS grade from NGC, rare early date and an interesting variety (Tauler 223a, unlisted in Calicó’s La Onza) with cross-side legend ending in ISPANIAR (no H), an aspect more commonly seen in the following years (1705-8). From the 1715 Fleet and pedigreed to the John Pullin collection (stated on label). NGC #6271296-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to the Fernandina collection (stated on label). NGC #5965185-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $10,000-up.

27. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1710 H, four-digit date, HISPANIAR variety, ex-1715 Fleet, NGC UNC details / obverse scratched, Tauler Plate. S-L25a; KM-38.2; Cal-2117. 26.58 grams. This coin is so well centered on a broad, round flan that in 1992 Frank Sedwick

called it “exquisite…its excellence of cut and strike and completeness...as close as we have ever seen to a Philip V Lima 8E Royal.” Indeed it is striking to see so much full detail, including all the legend, even the second date in four digits, 1710, without any doubling or weakness or even wear, as this coin clearly did not circulate before it was lost to the sea, which imparted an orangish sheen of sediment on the surfaces, in addition to a tiny patch of white coral in the waves, the only manufacturing demerit being a hairline crack at about 1 o’clock / 4 o’clock. As noted, however, the act of salvage or later handling imparted several areas of light scratches, particularly below the denomination on the pillars side and around the upper-left castle on the cross side. It is still an exceptional coin, without question, well deserving of its multiple pedigrees.

One final note: 1710 marks the first time a second date was placed in the legend, and this variety is the only one in prior to 1716 to show the date in all four digits. From the 1715 Fleet, with Fisher photo-certificate PC10-31221, and pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of January 2010, with original lot-tag 7316, as well as the Ponterio auction of January 2009, with cover and lot-description page from that auction, and the Ponterio auction of March 1996 (lot 803), and to the Frank Sedwick Price List of February-March 1992, also pedigreed to the John Pullin Collection (stated on label) and Plate Coin #235a in Tauler’s Oro Macuquino (2011). NGC #6271295-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

28. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1711 M, NGC MS 62, ex-1715 Fleet. S-L28; KM-38.2; Cal-2119. 26.81 grams. Broad flan with much legend (especially on the well-centered cross side), full cross-lions-castles and pillars-and-waves (the latter slightly doubled), the cross-side surface slightly grainy (rusty die) but the pillars side somewhat lustrous, Tauler #237 for variety (dots and legend placement). From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to the Fernandina collection (stated on label). NGC #5965185-002 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $10,000-up.

Highly lustrous and with choice full pillars-andwaves and cross-lions-castles, the former just slightly off-center enough to push the date in the legend off the flan, overall in an exceptional state of preservation (more than its numeric grade would suggest, in fact), with just two finer in the NGC census, also nicely medal-aligned. From the 1715 Fleet, with original tag from Pat Johnson.

NGC #5968108-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $20,000-up.

30. Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1712 M, NGC MS 64, rotated cross-side legend, ex-1715 Fleet. S-L28; KM-38.2; Cal-2120. 26.97 grams. Small, thick flan with

bold full pillars (slightly doubled) and crosslions-castles (slightly off-center), full crown to right of bold second date in legend (in three digits, the example in Tauler being the same but doubled to appear like it’s four digits), variety with cross-side legend beginning at 6 o’clock (Tauler #242a).

From the 1715 Fleet. NGC #5778657-002 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $20,000-up.

rows of dots instead of horizontal lines and first of a two-year type with teardrops emanating from the ends and tips of the crossbars of the cross (also with dots in angles of the cross), an aspect that some believe was meant to denote striking after a massive earthquake in February 1716 that nearly destroyed the region, also with lots of ornamental dots throughout the pillars design (this particular variety not listed in Tauler), the tops of pillars well detailed and the cross full and nice. From the Loosdrecht (1719), pedigreed to the Fernandina and Thomas Gray collections (all stated on label), pedigreed to Sedwick Auction 19, with original lot-tag 19, and formerly displayed at the ANA Money Museum’s “Treasures of the Deep” exhibit (2014-2015).

It is important to note the cross on this coin is attributable to Restrepo-M98.8 or 10 (split ribbons, no tressure-loops around the quadrants of the cross), but the lions and castles in the shield are transposed and the lions are facing left, per Restrepo-M98.10, for which only the date 1752 is listed.

Choice full cross and most of shield with clear denomination II above assayer G to right (also clear C of king’s name in legend above), light encrustation in crevices. Note: NGC erroneously attributed this to the date range 1700-13 (Charles II posthumous). From the 1715 Fleet. NGC #6272340-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

62. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, Charles II, assayer not visible, NGC MS 62, ex-1715 Fleet, ex-Art McKee. Restrepo-M66; KM-14.1; Cal-Type 151. 6.65 grams. Crude and uneven strike with some flat spots but nearly full shield and cross nevertheless (some luster and light encrustation in crevices), the shield doubled in such a way that makes it seem like Naples-Sicily is on the left (per Restrepo’s ARC1), especially since it was slabbed upside-down by NGC (who also called it 1701-15 in error), whereas in fact it is actually a proper shield dating to sometime prior to the mid-1690s. From the 1715 Fleet (Corrigans site), with Karen McKee certificate that says “Salvaged by my father ‘Arthur McKee Jr.’ off Vero Beach in the early 60s.” NGC #5967815-003 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

63. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, 1702 in upside-down digits preceded by assayer V.A., king’s name as PHILIPVS over CAROLOS [sic] on obverse and PHILIPVS on reverse, extremely rare, NGC MS 62, ex-1715 Fleet. Restrepo-M79.1 (var); S-B24; KM-unl (14.2 for type); Cal-1934 (under Ph. V). 6.70 grams. This

crazy coin is important for defining the chaotic transitional period of 1700-2, in which Philip’s name was at first combined with that of the deceased Charles and then replaced it, before the coins inexplicably returned to just Charles in 1703. Part of this transitional chaos was a tendency to engrave parts of the legend in backwards order or reading outward, or both, as in the case of the date on this coin, which actually reads as “2071” inward from edge. Also visible in the cross-side legend is assayer V.A before the date (presumably for Ventura de Arce), plus a clear PHIL of the king’s name, and on the shield side we see just enough of the legend to make out what has to be (from other examples) PHILIPVS punched over CAROLOS, a misspelling unique to 1700-2. The shield and cross-and-tressure are complete, bold, and well detailed, albeit doubled (the cross more so than the shield), and a lovely red toning graces the surfaces all over. From the 1715 Fleet. NGC #5967830-001 (1715 Fleet Shipwreck Label). Estimate: $5,000-up.

64. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 escudos, 1705, no assayer (Arce), NGC MS 63, ex-1715 Fleet.

Clear date outside of bold full cross (slightly off-center), full and well-detailed but slightly doubled shield, attractive light toning and encrustation over luster in crevices, desirable pedigree. From the 1715 Fleet, pedigreed to Bob “Frogfoot” Weller collection, with copy of his book True Stories of Sunken Treasure (2005) and to the “Tampa sale” of 2003 (lot 99), with U.S. Dept. of Treasury photo-certificate 210 issued by Daniel Frank Sedwick, and to Sedwick Auction 11, with original lot-tag 49.

RestrepoLustrous and sharply detailed, with bold full date outside a choice full cross-and-tressure, the shield also full and bold and complete but with trifle doubling at upper right, horizontal assayer M to right, just inside bold PHIL- of king’s name (the ordinal V also visible further along), also much crown, an exceptional specimen for the period. NGC #6272341002. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Shipwreck Ingots Gold

Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida

67. Gold bar #17, 878 grams, 15.75 karat, Class 2, marked with tax stamps, karat markings and assayer or foundry cartouche IVAN / P3, ex-Atocha (1622). 8-1/2” x 1-1/4” x 1/2”. Large Atocha gold bars are highly sought, especially with lots of markings, and this one is about as complete as you can get, with just one small piece cut from one end in its time (very typical, probably to settle an account or pay a tax). The top surface, which is typically uneven and bears a small, raised knob in the center to which some thick, brown encrustation still clings, shows no fewer than seven partial circular tax stamps, four bold fineness markings consisting of a boxed XV and three dots in a separate box, plus one full cartouche with weak but certain IVAN / P3 that could possibly stand for an assayer named “Juan Pérez” (as some paleography studies have shown that what looks like P3 or P with a backwards Z can be shorthand for the name “Pérez”), one of the scarcer cartouches seen on such bars. Light yellow color all over with nicely contrasting red color in the markings. Also we note the early style of Treasure Salvors marking (circular) on the bottom (and an early artifact number). A nearly 1-kg bar with a reasonable starting price due to its uncommon sub-16K fineness. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-GB017. Estimate: $45,000-up.

Non-Wreck

68. Natural gold nugget from the Sacramento River in California, 513 grams, 95% fine, the “Golden Seal.”

Roughly 4” x 1-1/2” x 1/2”. A long and hefty natural lump of gold with smoothed edges from centuries of alluvial transport, with a few small pockets left but no remaining quartz matrix, nicknamed the “Golden Seal” for the fact that it looks like a swimming seal with its head slightly raised from the water surface, with rich gold color all over indicative of its high fineness. Estimate: $30,000-up.

28

69. Natural gold nugget from the Yuma

River in California, 213.7 grams, 88% fine, the “Golden Shark Tooth.” Roughly 2-3/8” x 2” x 3/4”. Triangular mass of solid gold with much red

color on its surface, in and around crevices harboring traces of original quartz matrix, its overall shape resembling a large fossilized shark tooth (hence its nickname). Estimate: $15,000-up.

Silver

“Tumbaga wreck,” sunk ca. 1528 off Grand Bahama Island 70. Silver “tumbaga” bar #M33, 2318 grams, marked with fineness IVCC L (1250/2400), code RC, owner/assayer B~Vo and partial tax stamp, ex”Tumbaga Wreck,” ex-Eidel, Armstrong Plate. 2315 grams, 7” x 3” x 1”. An attractive “half brick” (a shape unique to this wreck, like a typical building brick but half as thick) with sharply sloping sides and fairly smooth surfaces (neatly cast), lightly toned here and there, its bottom face showing a compact grouping of boxed markings consisting of owner/assayer BV with ~ above the B and o above the V (believed to stand for Bernardino Vazquez de Tapia), and below that a boxed R and boxed C (placing it in the “C” group of an “R” series of batches), and at bottom a boxed IVCC and boxed L for fineness 1250/2400 (52%), all to the left of partial circular tax stamp showing the letters LV that was clear enough to merit inclusion in Armstrong’s photo-pages. A small patch of light green (leached copper) appears at upper left. One corner shows a typical diagonal assayer’s “bite.” A premium piece for its size. From the “Tumbaga Wreck” (ca. 1528), with Sedwick photo-certificate, and pedigreed to the Charlie Eidel Collection (purchased from Frank Sedwick on Nov. 14, 1995), with collector’s notes, its markings plated on page 40 of Doug Armstrong’s Tumbaga Silver for Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (1993). Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

manifest number IIIIUXIII (4013), fineness IIUCCCLXXX followed by MEXIA assayer cartouche, date 1621, tax stamps and owner/shipper marks, ex-Atocha (1622). 13-1/2” x 5” x 3-3/8”. A very large “loaf ” of solid silver with a multitude of clear markings

on top, including (to right of fineness)one of the clearest examples of MEXIA (assayer name) we have seen, also with clear “I6ZI” date with full circular tax seal lightly stamped over it (in addition to two other seals in other places), bold full manifest above small double-scoop assayer’s “bite” in center, silvermaster’s mark V (for de Vreder) in one corner, and several other marks for owners and shippers (some crossed out), of which the most prominent is a giant A near one side. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S339. Estimate: $35,000-$50,000.

30

72. Large silver bar #491 made in Oruro, 81 lb 6.56 oz troy, 2380/2400 fine (99.17%), Class Factor 0.9, marked with manifest number XI (11), fineness IIUCCCLXXX preceded by PA5 assayer cartouche, tax stamps and owner/shipper marks, ex-Atocha (1622). 15-1/2” x 5” x 3”. In addition to being slightly different in shape from most bars (with steeply sloping ends, the bottom

face only 11” long), this ingot bears one of the lowest manifest numbers we’ve seen (11), as well as a unique and very clear assayer-mark PA5 (the only one of its kind among the 960 or so bars found) next to a clear fineness in small boxes with another (illegible) cartouche following, also with four small and nearly complete but lightly impressed circular tax seals, V for silvermaster de Vreder in one corner, and a very deep and prominent diamond-topped TA monogram that is known to stand for owner M. de Tirajo (with a prior mark effaced at other end). One end shows a distinct cylindrical assayer’s “bite” as usual for the Oruro mine. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S491. Estimate: $30,000-$45,000.

31

73. Large silver bar #332 made in Oruro, 74 lb 4.16 oz troy, 2380/2400 fine (99.17%), Class Factor 0.8, marked with manifest number CCXXXVI (236), fineness IIUCCCLXXX followed by partial assayer cartouche, circular tax stamp and owner/shipper marks, ex-Atocha (1622). 14-1/2” x 4-3/4” x 3”. Darker than normal surfaces, with some white coral encrustation on sides and in crevices, the top with full and clear fineness and manifest number, the assayer cartouche too weak to read, one full circular tax seal, very clear star-topped A owner/shipper mark, plus an effaced earlier mark next to V for silvermaster de Vreder near one end. The cylindrical assayer’s “bite” at one end is close to the bottom and is not apparent from the top. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S332. Estimate: $25,000-up.

32

74. Large silver bar #792 made in Potosí, 81 lb 2.08 oz troy, 2300/2400 fine (95.83%), Class Factor 0.8, marked with

manifest IIIUDCCCXXV (3825), fineness IIUCCC followed by MEXIA assayer cartouche, date 1621, tax stamps and owner/shipper mark, ex-Atocha (1622). 13-1/2” x 5” x 3”. One of very few Atocha bars (reportedly just over 6%) made in lower fineness,

shown clearly next to a full but slightly corroded cartouche for assayer Mexia, the lengthy manifest number also clear as well as at least four partial circular tax seals, with faint small D (owner/shipper) below weak but certain I6ZI date, deep diagonal slash at one inside silvermaster de Vreder’s V, typical double-scoop assayer’s “bite” in center, all light in color and neatly cast. From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S792. Estimate: $25,000-up.

33

75. Medium silver bar #603 made in Potosí, 57 lb 4.00 oz troy, 2300/2400 fine (95.83%), Class Factor 1.0, marked with manifest IIIUDCCLXVIII (3768), fineness IIUCCC, date 1621, tax stamps and owner/shipper marks, ex-Atocha (1622).

13-3/4” x 5” x 2”. About half the usual height of a large bar but same width and length, one of very few (reportedly just over 6%) made in lower

fineness, shown clearly in four separate boxes (IIU and three C’s), the lengthy manifest number also clear to right of a faint but certain I6ZI date, small D and large R owner/shipper marks and V for silvermaster de Vreder near one end, small double-scoop assayer’s “bite” in center.

From the Atocha (1622), with original Fisher photo-certificate 85A-S603. Estimate: $20,000-up.

34

Concepción, sunk in 1641 off Hispaniola 76. Small silver “splash” ingot (probably contraband, no markings), 88 grams, ex-Concepción (1641). 2-1/4” in diameter, 1/8” thick. Nondescript disk of toned silver with spots of orange and green encrustation, small chips in edge but otherwise intact, equivalent to three 8 reales and one 2 reales in its time. From the Concepción (1641).

Estimate: $500-$750.

Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida

77. Large silver “wedge” ingot with heavy encrustation, 1905 grams, ex-1715 Fleet. Roughly 6” x 4” x 4”. An impressive display consisting of an original matrix of shells and concretion (gray with orange spots, with stable hairline fissure, professionally conserved), solidly attached to a large, dark-gray wedge of silver amalgam (lighter than solid silver), a unique conversation-piece for sure. From the 1715 Fleet, with Sedwick photo-certificate. Estimate: $2,500-$3,750.

Typically tightly cast block with smooth sides but one end left with open pit (now bearing brownish encrustation) whose embankments were filed and chiseled in its time to fine-tune the weight, the markings on one side very bold and also graced with brown and orange encrustation. From the Rooswijk (1739), with original plastic tag and certificate RK05AS0112 from the salvors. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

Non-Wreck 79. Large “plata corriente” piece cut from thick silver “splash

ingot” with clear tax stamp, 81 grams. Roughly 1-1/4” x 3/4” x 1/4”. A substantial chunk of silver, clearly broken on four sides from

the interior portion of a large disk (“splash”), with abnormally distinct tax stamp on smooth(ish) top that shows (D)G:ISP(ANIARVM), presumably of Philip II (1500s), the other side rougher (as made) with light encrustation in crevices, its weight exactly matching that of three 8 reales. XRF test results: 87.85% silver, 7.14% lead, 1.17% copper, traces of other elements. Estimate: $500-$750.

Lima

87. Lima, Peru, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer X, very rare, Grade 2. S-L3; KM-9; Cal-336. 6.23 grams. Broad, thin flan with choice full cross-lions-castles, crown (showing clear x’s between loops) and shield, to the right of which is a full and clear mintmark P and assayer X, with just one small patch of light surface corrosion near edge.

A Brief Introduction to the Countermarked Shield-Type Coins of Potosí, 1649-52

by Daniel Frank Sedwick One could hardly choose a more fascinating period to study and collect than the countermarked Potosí silver cobs of 1649-52. Like all cobs, no two are exactly alike, and even finding two coins made from the same dies can be a challenge. Even when you do, unless they are round presentation issues known as “Royals” or galanos, you would have to collect several examples just to get the whole design. Now add to that the countermarks, 37 in all, with many sub-varieties. This creates an almost infinite number of different coins to study and collect. Talk about a project for an over-achiever!

Yet this is just what Robert Mastalir has done in his two-volume work just published (2021). Volume I covers the coins themselves, starting with the 1649 issues under assayers Zambrano (Z) and then Rodas (O with dot in middle), followed by the 1650-1 issues of Rodas and ending with the 1651-2 issues of assayer Elgueta (E), including the over-assayers in between (O/Z and E/O). Because the mint was under such scrutiny during the investigation of Dr. Nestares Marín in 1649-52, those years reflect a great variety of small changes in style and artistry, particularly in the date (even something like .+.1.6.5.0., for example) but also in the placement of the assayer on both sides of the shield. Mastalir’s Volume II covers the same coins but ordering and analyzing them by countermark instead.

So who was Dr. Nestares Marín, you might ask, and why were the coins countermarked? In a word: scandal. After decades of massive outputs of silver in the late 1500s, the mines of the great “Cerro Rico” of Potosí (and to some extent Oruro) started to run into significant setbacks, like a declining indigenous population to work the mines and higher operating costs due to mercury prices and an oppressive 20% tax (the notorious “King’s fifth” or quinto). Perhaps more than anything else, that last factor prompted mine operators and assayers to start debasing the ingots, with finenesses below what was stated. After this went on unchecked, even the mint got in on the action and started producing debased coins, which was a capital offense. The criminals behind it were smart, though, and made sure to debase only some of the bars and coins, so that the occasional bad piece might seem like a fluke and not a calculated systemic fraud. But a fraud it was, and it rocked the world.

Because of the wars it was fighting, primarily in the Low Countries, Spain was constantly in debt to its financiers, and as a result practically all of the silver from the Americas quickly spread around the world. As early as the mid-1620s, moneychangers as far away as India and China were discounting up to 25% for “Peruvian” silver coins. Clearly something had to be done.

Enter Dr. Nestares, a special investigator sent by the King to Potosí at the end of 1648 to clean house and fix the situation.

By 1652 several miscreants had been sentenced to death and a new pillars-and-waves design for the coinage had started (after a series of transitional types in that year, covered by Mastalir in previous works) while the bad shield-type coins were recalled, in the hopes that the world would forget about them. But that left a period of coinage, 1649-52, that was made under new assayers in good silver, and those coins needed a way to show their legitimacy. The answer was countermarks.

Unfortunately we still cannot identify the individuals or locations behind each countermark—Mastalir’s work is purely empirical data from the coins themselves. It is known that at least some of these marks were used prior to the scandal and therefore were from existing operators. The hope is that Mastalir’s masterful organization of all that data will someday result in answers about the silversmiths and/or Royal houses that applied these marks.

It is worth noting that these countermarked coins are sometimes referred to as “7-1/2 reales” for the 8 reales and “3-3/4 reales” for the 4 reales. Those were their actual circulating values, but it is misleading to think of the countermarks as devaluation marks. The fact is that the whole system was devalued, as the earlier coins from the 1620s up to 1649 were discounted 25% (6 reales for the 8 reales), and the countermarks were actually used to UP-value the 1649-52 coins to a higher amount. Numismatically it makes more sense to call these coins by their original denominations as stated in their design.

One last point: All of these countermarked coins should be considered rare. They were intended to be temporary and eventually melted down to make new coins. It is only by virtue of two massive shipwrecks—the Capitana of 1654 and the Maravillas of 1656—that we have any kind of quantity of these coins to study, a fact which Mastalir emphasizes at every turn. One shudders to think of the permanent loss of numismatic data if commercial salvage operations were never allowed to ply their trade. Works like Mastalir’s go a long way to show that private enterprise and collectors advance our knowledge without the need for government intervention and fighting over “cultural property.”

24.28 grams. Our firm had the privilege of selling the first Whydah coin to be

auctioned in 2011, and since that time only a handful more examples with full provenance (meaning official Barry Clifford certificates and Maritime Explorations barcoded tags) have come to the market through our auctions, all linked to an early investment deal and not indicative of any sales by the museum, which otherwise has kept all the finds intact for everyone to see (and if you haven’t, do yourself a favor and visit the Whydah museum on Cape Cod!). This wreck is famous for being the only treasure-laden pirate salvaged in our time, and owning a coin from it is a rare privilege. This coin, however, has the added distinction of being the only one officially certified from the wreck by NGC, as stated on a special label. The coin itself is broad and solid but moderately corroded, still with most of shield and cross visible and a clear assayer J, all nicely toned. With original Tyvek tag and Barry Clifford certificate #87752. NGC #5961032-001 (Shipwreck Blue Label). Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

KM-103; Cal-1458. 26.97 grams. Bold strike with thick rims, deeply toned and basically uncorroded, with a few tiny marks only. 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. From the Glendining (London) auction of February 1968 (lot 320), with photo certificate. NGC #5964197-001 (Shipwreck Blue Label). Estimate: $200-$300.

SS Breda, sunk in 1940 off Scotland

409. Large lot of 6 uncut sheets of India 10 rupees bank note paper. Each sheet about 25” x 28”. The SS Breda was a Dutch merchant vessel that was attacked by German Luftwaffe bombers on Dec. 23, 1940 off Oban, Scotland, while waiting to join a convoy bound for Bombay, India. Among her cargo of cement, tobacco and cigarettes, biplanes, trucks, and trade goods, the ship also carried crates of watermarked sheets of paper for Indian 10 and 5 rupees notes. After the attack, the damaged vessel was beached off Ardmucknish Bay, and although some salvage work began, a storm on Dec. 24th quickly ended that and moved the ship into deeper water where it sank. Around the early 1990s, the crates of bank note paper, now falling apart, were found and salvaged by recreational divers. Each sheet in this lot bears 40 notes and has some edge damage, light staining, and minor foxing from immersion in the water over several decades. The watermark on each note is of the crowned bust of King George facing right and the text TEN RUPEES / RESERVE BANK / OF / INDIA / TEN RUPEES. Estimate: $300-$450.

410. Large lot of 20 uncut sheets of India 5 rupees bank note paper. Each sheet about 26” x 23”. Each sheet in this lot bears around 50 notes and has some edge damage, light staining, and minor foxing from immersion in the water over several decades; two of the sheets have trimmed edges. The watermark on each note is of the crowned bust of King George facing right, the text RESERVE / BANK / OF / INDIA, and the denomination 5 in the upper left and lower right corners. Estimate: $500-$750.

This recovered example is UNC with minor saltwater corrosion (mostly around the edges) and has a protected area on the obverse from another coin resting on top during its time underwater, some cleaning hairlines noted on the front. Estimate: $400-$600.

Thick, round flan with full cross (lions “C”) and shield, the latter flanked with bold full oMF with stem atop the o and denomination 8, Fine+ with minor edge-crack, well-centered and lightly toned in crevices only. Estimate: $250-$375.

424. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1613 F, extremely rare, NGC VF details / mount removed, plated,

ex-Rudman. S-M17; KM-R44.3; Cal-unl (Type 160). 26.60 grams. Impressively broad flan (typical of early Royals), with 100% full and evenly struck details, faint traces of gilding, attractively contrasting toning in crevices. The NGC capsule makes it impossible to see the stated mount removal, but what is more important is that this coin was apparently never holed (even though it would have been a great candidate, since the two sides are in perfect coin alignment), which makes it very rare for any Royal. Also, while Philip III Royals are already rare as a type, to our knowledge this may be the only clean-date 1613 in existence, as the only other example (cited in Lázaro and Calicó) is 1613/2. That overdate coin is rated by Lázaro as RU (unique), and it shares the same reverse die as the present clean-date example. An important coin for the consummate collector of Mexican Royals! Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #2789248-008. Estimate: $25,000-up.

Broad and typically concave flan with choice full shield and cross, bold full denomination 8 and date with last digit doubled but confirmed by distinctive lions on reverse that began in 1615 (see Lázaro #40 for a 1615 Royal with the same lions), choice grade, no toning, minor edge-splits. Note: This is not just the only 1615/4 8R in the NGC census but is also the only non-Royal 8R in the census for the whole date-range of 1613 to 1616 (and none at PCGS for 1612-1616).

rectangular flan with most of shield and cross but little else except for the all-important denomination 4 to right, lightly struck VF with peripheral flatness, no toning. Estimate: $200-$300.

Plate. S-M22; KM-R47; Cal-1363. 25.65 grams. Impressively large and evenly struck with fully details, like most Mexican Royals, with light toning

on fields that display strong metal-flow lines, typically holed at the top (medal-aligned). Lázaro rates this very coin as RU (unique), and we can find no other examples, and also points out that the second I is missing in INDARVM. Clearly a unique opportunity for the advanced collector. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet, Plate Coin on page 117 of Lázaro’s Los redondos de Lima, Méjico y Potosí y otras acuñaciones especiales (1996). NGC #2789248-008.

flan than other examples), all details full and evenly struck, obverse die-match with Lázaro #69 (rated R4), with lovely gunmetal toning all over, a distinctive example with four crude holes (one at each end of the cross) that was in hiding when we sold another 1714 just this May and stated that only four were known (now the population is five, in addition to one non-round “pseudo-Royal” from the same obverse die) made from three different reverses, this one being the variety with upright flower at top of reverse. NGC #4666499-001. Estimate: $10,000-up.

432. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1715 J, rare, NGC AU details / plugged, whizzed. S-M22; KM-R47; CalTypically round and evenly struck, with all details full and technically high grade, patchy light toning on fields, the crown and ornament on top of reverse (medal-aligned) recreated after plugging the inevitable hole (still faintly visible), one of only a handful of 1715’s known (die-match with Lázaro #70, R3), all quite elegant and impressive and sure to be popular with 1715-Fleet enthusiasts. NGC #5961187-001. Estimate: $15,000-up.

Estimate: $200-$300.

Cal-1410. 26.17 grams.

434. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales Royal (galano), 1728/6/5 assayer D, PHILIPPVS/LVDOVICVS, unique, NGC XF

40, ex-Rudman, ex-Rooswijk (1739). S-M23a; KM-unl; Cal-1381 (overdate not listed). 26.06 grams. The final 8R Royals of Mexico, struck from 1725 to 1730, are all extremely rare (most are unique), and it is only from the reappearance of known specimens onto the market that we have been able to carefully study them (since photography was not as good before) and determine that they were all struck from an obverse die originally engraved in 1725 (the exception being 1727, which for whatever reason was struck from a clean, new die that was either discarded or skipped when the 1728-30 coins were made). Our last auction in May showcased the finest of them, clearly showing the multiple overdate 1730/28/5 and over-assayer R/D, in addition to the re-engraving of the king’s name and ordinal from LVDOVICVS I to PHILIPPVS V, incidentally preserving the oddly spaced double ornaments flanking the ordinal, per Lázaro #90 under Louis I, dated 1725. The current example, currently unique and presumably the immediate predecessor to the 1730 coin just mentioned, as it shows the overdate as 1728/6/5 and no over-assayer (this date not listed in Lázaro), has the additional distinction of being one of very few Royals found on shipwrecks (this one, in fact, the only example from the Rooswijk of 1739). All details are typically full and evenly struck on a perfectly round flan with medal alignment, deeply toned and probably Uncirculated when sunk, the surfaces not lustrous or pristine but thankfully not corroded, and also not holed, as it surely would have been if it had circulated over the centuries instead of resting at the bottom of the sea. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet, from the Rooswijk (1739) and to the Ponterio “Rooswijk” auction of March-April 2006 (lot 39). NGC #5961044-001 (Shipwreck Blue Label). Estimate: $25,000-up.

S-M11; KM-unl (36 for In all the experimentation with the positioning of the mintmark, assayer and denomination (which by coincidence also happened at Lima at the same time under assayer Diego de la Torre), apparently the engraver forgot to punch the denomination into the obverse die for this coin, the first of its kind we have seen or heard of, and it is also a choice piece, with perfectly detailed full shield and cross-lions-castles, the legends somewhat flat on a broad flan, the surfaces faintly lustrous under very light toning.

444. Mexico City, Mexico, cob 4 reales Royal (galano), 1728/5 D, PHILIPPVS/LVDOVICVS, unique, NGC VF details / plugged, ex-Rudman. S-M23a; KM-unl; Cal-unl (Type 138). 12.54 grams. Just like the 8 reales of 1725-30 (see lot 434 above), the 4 reales of

this period were also all struck from obverse dies that were modified from one originally engraved in 1725, with none made in 1729 and the “next in line” after the current piece being a unique 1730/28/5 R/D in our Auction 28 last year. The present coin, typically round and evenly struck, with full details and perfect medallic alignment, also beautifully toned, was once holed at top like nearly Royals, but a careful artisan has faithfully recreated the central crown design on obverse and flower ornament on reverse while leaving enough evidence not to deceive, making for a very pleasing aspect overall. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #2789252-025. Estimate: $10,000-up.

While Mexican 1/2R Royals of the 1715-30 period are not overly rare, they are very rarely found without holes, which is why only seven examples across all the dates have received numeric grades from NGC, this being the only one dated 1726.

All details are full and bold, with rich dark toning all over. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet.

NGC #2789284-016. Estimate: $500-$750.

Broad round flan with lustrous fields and sharp AU details, with full legends and choice interiors, as well as a well-detailed full crown, just a few hairline cracks that are deep but stable. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Cal-unl. 13.49 grams. Perfectly round with superb full cross-lions-castles,

the crown and shield also full but weaker, most of the legend bold, prominent oD/X to right with bold denomination to left showing the * mintmark squeezed in above it, XF with darkly toned fields. All the known examples of 4R oD/X appear to be from the same obverse die showing HISPANIARVM with an H (with at least a couple different reverses), whereas some of the clean-X 4R known were struck from a different obverse with ISPANIARVM (no H), proving that this difference alone is not an indicator of either time period or mint, unfortunately. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection and to the Ponterio auction of October 1994 (lot 1240). Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

466. Lima, Peru, cob 4 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de

la Torre, *-oiiii to left, P-oD to right. S-L4; KM-11; Cal-498. 13.35 grams. Excellent full shield and cross, both a trifle doubled, with much

of crown and legend as well, same arrangement as the oD/X issues (also ISPANIARVM without H) hence probably struck early in de la Torre’s tenure, attractive XF with darkly toned fields. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection and to the Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1997, with original lot-tag 2302. Estimate: $500-$750.

Torre, P-4 to left, *-oD to right. S-L4; KM-11; Cal-501. 13.70 grams.

Choice full details in AU grade, with lightly contrasting crustiness on fields, the shield and cross particularly sharp and well-detailed.

Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection and to the Heritage auction of January 2008, with original lot-tag 51946. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

468. Lima, Peru, cob 4 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, *-4 to left, P•D to right. S-L4; KM-11; Cal-499. 13.17 grams.

6.74 grams. Bold full P-oD/X, some bold legend and nearly full crown, well-detailed full shield and cross-lions-castles, XF with dark toning on fields for contrast. Multiple dies are known for oD/X in the 2R denomination, this one evidently showing HISPANIARVM with H. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection and to the Ponterio auction of January 2006 (lot 2032), also Sedwick Auction 6 (lot 782). Estimate: $500-$750.

471. Lima, Peru, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer Diego de la Torre, *-ii to left, P-oD/X to right. S-L4; KM-9; Cal-337. 6.60 grams.

Slightly out-of-round flan, with crisp AU details despite light surface porosity (also lightly toned), choice full shield, full but partially weak cross, bold *-ii and P-oD/X, most of crown and some legend, different dies from the previous lot, particularly the crown, which bears an unprecedented series of x’s between the top and bottom loops (first specimen known). Estimate: $350-$500.

469. Lima, Peru, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer X below mintmark P to right, very rare.

S-L3; KM-9; Cal-336. 6.60 grams.

Full and well-detailed shield and cross, with bold assayer and clear denomination, not much legend, slightly porous AXF with a few hairline cracks, much rarer in this denomination than oD/X. Crucially, the lions (and castles) are large (4R-sized) and in fact match the style (“Segovia” lions) used on later issues at Potosí, namely those of assayers R, L and B (but not M), probably indicative of punches transported there after the brief striking in La Plata. Estimate: $500-$750.

The Rincón 1-Real and 2-Reales Coins of La Plata and Potosí—An Ongoing Study

by Barry W. Stallard and Daniel Frank Sedwick

For several decades, Barry Stallard has been studying the dies of Lima, La Plata and Potosí under Philip II, particularly the shield-type minors of assayer R (Alonso Rincón). The goal has been to find definitive links between the mints, as it is known that Lima closed in 1572, under assayer X (Xinés Martínez), and its dies and tools were transferred piecemeal, first to La Plata and then to Potosí, under assayer R. The La Plata mint is known to have operated in late 1573 to early 1574, and Potosí began striking in late 1574. Our die-studies are ongoing, but these are our conclusions so far for the 1R and 2R denominations.

Historical Background The Lima mint was legally created by a decree signed by King Philip II on August 21, 1565, a measure ostensibly taken to combat the proliferation of untaxed plata corriente pieces broken from unregulated silver ingots. Delays in construction pushed the official opening to September 2, 1568, with the first silver arriving September 6 and first coins minted September 7. The assayer was Alonso Rincón, and his initial R was placed on the dies to strike coins in a design similar to the Charles-Joanna coins of Mexico, with castles and lions in a simple shield on obverse and pillars and waves on reverse. Rincón struck these coins until October 11, 1569, around which time the treasurer, Lope de Mendaña Osorio, left office. Mendaña and other officials were prosecuted on several charges, particularly the minting of unauthorized 8 reales and the production of coins of less silver content than officially decreed (69 reales to the mark as opposed to 67). The trial was long and tedious and ended in absolution of those accused. Meanwhile, the King decreed on March 8, 1570, that the coinage of the American mints should be changed to the full Habsburg shield design in use at the mainland Spanish mints. A new assayer, Xinés Martínez, was appointed on October 23, 1570, and this assayer X struck a limited quantity of the pillars-type coins before the arrival of new punches on March 1, 1572, ushering in the full-shield design that followed for the next 20 years at Lima and 80 years at Potosí.

But assayer X’s shield-type mintage was short-lived, as the Lima mint ceased operating sometime in 1572. From the beginning, the idea of opening a mint closer to the source of the silver—the massive Cerro Rico of Potosí—had been on the table, and La Plata was considered the best location due to its abundance of available firewood and the fact that La Plata was the location of an official Audiencia, or High Court.

When Lima’s production faltered, Viceroy Toledo saw his chance to move the mint to La Plata. Lima officials, however, opposed the idea and reluctantly sent only half the tools and dies to La Plata on January 27, 1573, where the re-activated assayer Rincón was forced to come up with new equipment and personnel at great cost. Toledo soon realized that La Plata was not the answer and decided to move the new mint to Potosí, but not before striking 2000 marks’ worth of coins sometime around the end of 1573 and the beginning of 1574 at La Plata, just enough to send samples to the King to justify his actions, but not enough for the coins to be noticed in circulation in Lima.

The Potosí mint began striking sometime in 1574, converting just 8000 marks of silver into coins that year, all in smaller denominations, as 8 reales were not authorized until the spring of 1575. Since relatively few assayer-R 8 reales are known, in the absence of specific documentation we suspect Rincón left the office sometime in 1575 or 1576, succeeded by an unidentified assayer M. Another unidentified assayer L came next, followed by a B who is believed to be Juan Ballesteros Narvaez, serving off and on throughout the remainder of the century and Philip II’s reign.

Denominations and Die Lifetimes The denominations decreed by the King on August 21, 1565 for the first pillars-type coinage at the Lima mint were to be struck in the following proportions (percentages of weight in silver): 50% in 1R, 25% in 2R and 4R, and 25% in 1/4R and 1/2R.1 There was no provision for 8 reales because they were not authorized by the crown, and the fact that they are so rare indicates their impact on the weight-todenomination ratios can be assumed to be small, or at least did not affect the relative percentages of the lower denominations. Unfortunately, since the percentages decreed do not specify the ratios between 2R and 4R, nor the ratios between 1/4R and 1/2R, we cannot meaningfully discuss their individual striking quantities against the known populations. On the other hand, we DO know the exact decreed proportion of 1R. The total weights in silver minted for the years 1568 and 1569 were recorded respectively as 6071 marks and 16,467 marks2, which at the standard rate of 67 reales per mark equates to 1,510,046 reales for those two years under Rincón, 50% of which is 755,023 coins in the 1R denomination. Our database includes 51 different Lima pillars-type 1R,3 which indicates a survival rate of about 0.0066%, or about one coin for every 15,000 struck. In addition, Stallard has matched these 1R to five obverse and twelve reverse dies, which is a ratio of 2.4 reverse dies for every obverse die. We cannot assume these data are exact, as of course there are plenty of coins we have not studied or have not been found yet, but at least they give a general idea of what we may expect in the next series of coins.

Coins Struck at the La Plata Mint Stallard has focused primarily on the 1R denomination to try to determine which ones could have been struck at the La Plata mint.

As stated earlier, the shield-type design was in use for a brief time in 1572 by assayer X prior to the move to La Plata, and Rincón was the new assayer at La Plata when it issued coinage in late 1573 or early 1574. All the known Lima shield-type 1R of assayer X so far are from the same obverse and reverse dies, with P-X to the right of the shield.4 Stallard’s research turned up a single assayer-R 1R made with the same reverse die as assayer X’s 1R, which we will call reverse X, and logically this must be the first issue of the new mint at La Plata. A second specimen turned up in 2009.5 The obverse of this assayer-R issue—which Stallard has named O1—shows Rincón’s letter R placed below the mintmark P to the left of the shield, and the legend reads HISPANIARVM with an H, same as on assayer X’s 1R.6 Our conclusion is that a complete Lima 1R die (from assayer X) went to La Plata, and Rincón cut a new obverse die using some Lima punches but with his initial in a different position to denote a change of mint.

Records state that 2000 marks of silver were coined at the La Plata mint, a paltry amount just to prove that minting there was viable. Given that, it does not make sense that Rincón would go to the effort and expense to make dies for multiple denominations. Indeed we do not know of any other denominations where a Rincón obverse is paired with a complete reverse die from Lima assayer X. So, if the entire 2000 marks of silver was all struck into 1R coins at 67 reales per mark, then 134,000 coins were produced. To date we have found only two coins with obverse O1 of Rincón and reverse die X from Lima assayer X. Assuming the mintage was all 1R, however, a confirmed population of just two remaining coins for La Plata is not enough. As mentioned above, the survival rate for Lima pillars-type 1R is about 1 for every 15,000 struck (keeping in mind that future finds will only increase that number). Applying that rate to a mintage of 134,000 coins means that about nine coins should exist, barring any large-scale re-melting of these coins, for which there is no evidence or reason. Furthermore, the early Lima data show that on average 2.4 reverse dies were used for every obverse die. Therefore, there should be more La Plata coins struck from obverse O1 but with another reverse.

As it turns out, Rincón die O1 has been found paired with one other reverse—Stallard’s die E—which in fact has not been seen paired with any other obverse die. Five of these O1/E coins are known, and all of them show die-wear, breaks and marks, indicative of the end of O1’s useful life. Thus we now have a known population of seven 1R coins (two O1/X and five O1/E) that most likely were struck at the La Plata mint. Surely more will eventually come to light.

Stallard has observed just two more Rincón obverse dies—O2 and O3—and crucially both show P-R to right instead of left, in addition to bearing legends with ISPANIARVM spelled without an H. It makes sense that Rincón would make these major changes to indicate the move to another new mint at Potosí.7 One major difference between these two obverse dies is the crown above the shield—O2’s is elongated and closed by a lower loop to make an oval (like the Lima obverse die X), whereas O3 is unfinished (open) and rests on top of the shield (like the La Plata obverse die O1). This seems to indicate that O3 was the immediate successor to O1 and therefore most likely the first die used by the Potosí mint.8 Stallard has also identified five reverses—A, B, C, D and F (E was later determined to be matched only with O1, as noted above). Reverse dies A through D are similar to each other, with castle and lion punches identical to La Plata die E, but die F has a unique feature: In the lower left quadrant we see the same Lima lion from assayer X (and the first La Plata issues), but in a worn state, most notably with very short stick-like front-right paw and rear-right paw (leftmost as viewed from front) and repaired tail. Note also that reverse die F is found paired with both obverses, O2 and O3, so those obverses could have been used simultaneously, although only one example of O3/F is known. Also, for all known coins with F reverses, the obverses were struck with well-worn dies showing breaks and marks, possibly indicating that reverse F was used toward the end of Rincón’s tenure. Crucially, none of the Rincón 1R reverse dies is known to be paired with obverse dies with assayer initial M, Alonso Rincón’s unidentified successor at Potosí, nor are any obverse dies known with M/R9; however, the known 1R reverses of assayer M do show castle and lion punches that are similar to Rincón’s (albeit with the lion’s tail distinctively curled back), as well as a closed-loop crown and ISPANIARVM without H, possibly further indicating that O2 was likely Rincón’s final 1R obverse die.

4 For examples, see Sedwick Auctions 18 (lot 556), 20 (lot 712) and 22 (lot 589).

5 Sedwick Auction 6, lot 877.

6 This was not consistent, however, as higher denominations of assayer X are known with either version, with or without H. 7 This is not the case for the 2R, however, which we believe started at Potosí with HISP- and then changed to ISP-, all with P-R to left.

8 By coincidence, the same argument is made in the die analysis in the 2R (see next section), although the similar numbering should not be taken as any association between the dies the two denominations.

9 M/R is known for all the higher denominations, however: 2R, 4R and even 8R.

Our proposed die sequence for Lima-La Plata-Potosí shield-type 1R is therefore as follows: Obverse R e v e r s e I S P -

Number of reverse dies paired with each obverse die

Reverse die pairing

The Rincón Shield-Type 2 Reales Now we move on to the 2 reales, which Stallard has studied just as extensively as the 1R, with an eye toward finding a possible chronological sequence at the Potosí mint (as none can be attributed to La Plata). His database includes 62 different examples, organized into four different obverse dies and three types of reverse dies, with each type tentatively broken into four individual reverse dies. Stallard is careful to point out the difficulty of trying to determine individual reverse dies and emphasizes instead the importance of the types with distinctive styles.

The table below shows the number of reverse die types paired with each obverse die. For obverse die O3 the number of coins (24, here marked with an asterisk) does not match the total number of reverse dies (23) because for one coin in the database the reverse die image is missing.

Note that the die-labeling O1, O2, O3, O4 refers to the order in which the coins were studied and is not meant to imply a chronological order of use. In fact, Stallard’s data shows that most likely the sequence was O3-O4-O1-O2, based on evidence from die-sharing, in particular the extent to which each obverse die was paired with a reverse die (known as a die-marriage) that in turn was paired with a different obverse die (a different die-marriage), a common practice going back to ancient times. More about that later.

118

Here are details on the four known obverse dies O1, O2, O3 and O4 (note that two additional obverse dies, known from over-assayers only and not with Rincón’s R alone, are described in the Addendum):

Four Potosí Rincón 2R Obverse Dies (note: ISP- and HISP- refer to the spelling of HISPANIARVM in the obverse legend) O1: ISP-, narrow and more O2: ISP-, narrow and more O3: HISP-, broad crown, lions O4: HISP-, broad crown, open crown, P tipped left

open crown, P vertical

of León tipped back, lower

lions of León upright, upper

paw touching shield border

paw touching shield border

Obverse dies O1 and O2 are similar: Both have a narrow crown with a closed loop for the base of the crown, and the spelling in the obverse legend is ISPANIARVM without an H. Dies O3 and O4 are also similar to each other, both with an elongated crown with narrow loop for the crown base and obverse legend with HISPANIARVM including the H, differing only slightly in the posture of the lions in León, as well as the size and spacing of the beads in the border separating the legends from the inner details.

The three reverse die types, labeled A, B and C, are as follows:

Three Potosí Rincón 2R Reverse Die Types Lima X 2R Reverse Type A: Lima-style castles and Type B: small Potosí-style cas- Type C: large Lima-style castles Small Lima-style castles small Potosí-style lions

tles and lions

and standing lions

(like Type A) and lions

Determining exact reverse dies is tedious, but for each reverse type Stallard has found four different reverse dies (not detailed or pictured here due to space limitations), as follows: Type A (small Lima-style castles with small Potosí-style lions): A1, A2, A3, A4 Type B (small Potosí-style castles and lions): B1, B2, B3, B4 Type C (large Lima-style castles and lions): C1, C2, C3, C4 We believe Type A reverse dies came first because in the upper-left and bottom-right quarters of the cross they employ a castle punch that originated from the Lima mint, as the same castle punch also appears on some Lima shield-type 1R and 2R coins of assayer X, as well as the La Plata 1R of assayer R referred to earlier. The seventeen coins in the Potosí 2R database struck with Type A reverse dies are all paired with an O3 obverse die, so it appears that O3 was the first die used at Potosí. Also, O3 and O4 both show HISP- in the legend, continuing the usual practice for most Lima issues and all La Plata issues. Die O4 would then follow O3 because of both a HISP- legend and a similar crown with elongated closed loop.

119

The table below shows the pairing and number of coins in the database for each obverse die with a reverse die type (with number of examples known in small boxes):

As we already saw with both the Lima pillars-type 1R (five obverses and twelve reverses) and the Potosí 1R (two obverses and five reverses), the number of reverse dies was greater than the number of obverse dies, probably due to breakage, in a ratio close to 2.5 to 1. Stallard’s observed ratio in 2R so far, however, is 3 to 1 (twelve reverse dies to four obverse dies).10 Consider that the obverse die was positioned upon a fixed anvil, while the reverse die was hand-held above it, almost always requiring multiple blows of the hammer to bring up the design.

Reverse dies therefore suffered greater wear and breakage than the fixed obverse die. Also, the reverse die would often shift or rotate between hammer blows, resulting in a muddled image of overlaying reverse-die impressions (also known as a double-strike). To identify each reverse die, Stallard compared the relative positioning of the letters in the legend with respect to the outward-facing points of the tressure surrounding the cross-lions-castles, the positioning of the lions and castles within the tressure, the legend punctuation, and the circle of beads separating the legend from the tressure (either 71 small beads or 56 large beads, give or take). Often these key identification points are eliminated or muddled by multiple strikes. A further complication is that it appears that the die sinker tried to make each new die as closely similar to the old die as possible.

Die wear is another diagnostic factor. By careful examination of multiple specimens from the same die, Stallard was able to discern small flaws (cracks, chips, scratches and repairs) that progressed from use. This, combined with die-sharing study, leads to conclusions about chronology, since a worn-out obverse, for example, indicates that the reverse die it is paired with is later than another reverse die paired with a less-damaged version of that obverse die.

10

Note, however, that adding the two unused dies in the Addendum makes it six obverse dies, which is a 2-to-1 ratio of reverses to obverses.

120

For example, here is a die-chain chronology for two obverse dies, O3 and O4, showing the deterioration of the dies in later pairings (the numbers at bottom left refer to the coin number in Stallard’s database):

Our tentative conclusions, within a general order of O3-O4-O1-O2 and A-B-C, are as follows: 1) Obverse die O3 came first, paired with seventeen Type A reverse dies.

2) After Type A reverse dies wore out and more could not be made (perhaps the Lima reverse castle punch broke?), O3 paired with three Type B and then three Type C reverse dies.

3) Finally O3 broke, and its successor O4 was paired with eleven Type B and two Type C dies.

4) Then O4 broke and O1 followed, paired with thirteen Type B and three Type C reverses.

5) Sometime after all the Type C reverse dies wore out, perhaps simultaneously with O1, a new O2 obverse paired with nine Type B reverses until minting by Rincón at Potosí ceased. Die-sharing and die-wear analyses for O3 and O4 confirm that reverse Type A preceded Type B. Type C either followed type B or was used simultaneously with it, possibly coinciding with the arrival of additional equipment from Lima to Potosí.

121

Addendum: Two More Assayer Rincón 2R Obverse Dies The as-yet unidentified successor to assayer Rincón at Potosí used his initial M, and in the 2R there are two different obverse dies known with M/R, soon to be followed by a complicated series of coins with assayer’s initials L and B overstruck on earlier assayers. In the table below we show examples of the M/R coins in the left and center columns; the right column shows an example of multiple over-punching L/L/M to demonstrate the complicated and chaotic relationship of assayers as they moved in and out of office. During this period the right to hold a mint office could be purchased from the Spanish crown, and the office holder could also sell or even lease his office to someone else.

Obviously this could and did lead to fraud by dishonest officials.

Additional Rincón 2R Dies A and B only seen as M/R, plus a similar L/M

The two precursor obverse dies for the M/R coins are the two new assayer R dies. While they are similar to obverse dies O3 and O4, with higher crowns and ISP- without H, they show new lion punches that are more rampant, as do the reverses. Note in particular the backward curl in the tip of the tail, most easily seen for M/R reverse A and less so on M/R reverse B. Also note that the M/R obverse B has a mintmark P that is much smaller and tipped forward. The L/L/M coin is very similar to the two M/R dies, also with higher crown and ISP- without H. So why have we not found any clean-R examples of these dies? For now we believe the change in lions (and other punches) supports the theory that Rincón made these dies while other punches were wearing out, but they were not used until assayer M had already taken office.

The Study Continues As new examples of Rincón shield-type 1R and 2R are found, we will continue to document them and update the database. Meanwhile, we will also study the smaller (1/4R and 1/2R) and larger (4R and 8R) denominations to find their die chronologies as well. It is our hope that anyone pursuing similar studies will collaborate and share their work to create a clearer picture for everyone.

La Plata Silver Cob Shield Type

505. La Plata, Bolivia, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer R (Rincón) below mintmark P to left, extremely rare (two known), Sellschopp plate, Stallard “discovery coin.” S-LP1; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 2.56 grams. As noted in the attached article by Barry Stallard, based on decades of careful die-analysis of hundreds of specimens in several denominations, the transition from Lima to La Plata to Potosí is best understood by studying the punches and dies, which were documented as having been sent from Lima to La Plata and Potosí in multiple batches after the Lima mint closed (temporarily) in 1572, during the tenure of assayer X. While several individual punches from Lima assayer X appear on issues of Potosí (see note in lot 469 above, for example), only one complete cross-side die-match has been observed, and logic dictates it must correspond to the very brief striking at La Plata in late 1573 and early 1574 only. This cross-side die is distinctive, with “passant” lions sticking out their tongues and a triple-punched tressure that appear on only two 1R issues with different shield-side dies: one with P-X to right (Lima) and the other with P-R to left (La Plata). The present coin is Stallard’s discovery piece, which he identified sometime prior to 2009 when we offered the only other example to be auctioned (Auction 6, lot 877). The cross and shield are full, obviously with clear lions and tressure for attributing, and the P-R is bold, in addition to small pieces of the legends and crown, all deeply toned, Fine+ for wear and with small hole a top of shield / right of cross, lightly shaved around the edge in its time. Unlike the other known specimen, this piece clearly shows HISPANIARVM with an H, a crucial data element that further confirms the attribution to La Plata. It may also be significant that this piece is underweight (see lot 614 in this auction). Lastly, it is pedigreed to the famous collection of Dr. E.A. Sellschopp, who lacked an assayer-X to compare with and possibly notice the connection as Stallard did so many years later. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection, plate coin #20 in Sellschopp’s Las acuñaciones de las cecas de Lima, La Plata y Potosí (1971). Estimate: $1,000-up.

Potosí Silver Cobs Shield Type

506. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (1st period), “heavy” lions, rare. S-P4; KM-5.1; Cal-672. 27.28 grams. A

fabulous example of Sellschopp #155 (not in Paoletti), which is by far the most seldom-seen of the varieties of 1st-period B, recognized by its uniquely heavy-maned lions, here very sharply detailed as the coin is arguably Uncirculated, with the rest of the cross and all of the shield very well detailed also, plus full crown and nearly full legends as struck on a broad flan that is more reminiscent of slightly later issues (what Sellschopp called “Great Module”), with frosty surfaces that lack toning and luster but are clearly pristine. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $500-$750.

507. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (1st period). S-P4; KM-5.1; Cal-672. 27.16 grams. Bold full cross with typical “dancing” lions (what Sellschopp called “Segovia” lions), well-detailed but less-bold full shield, nice full crown, parts of legend, some flatness from uneven flan, which is actually typical for 1st-period B, otherwise AU with some luster, one small spot of dark encrustation, hairline edge-crack. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $400-$600.

508. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer L below erased B (2nd period), rare. S-P9; KM-5.1; Cal-670. 27.48 grams. Broad flan with choice full shield and (doubled) cross, some bold legend, low-contrast XF (non-toned), but best feature is the full and very clear L-over-erased-B assayer, which provides a direct link from 1st-period B to 2nd-period L (obverse die-match with Sellschopp #53 and Paoletti #56). Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $750-$1,100.

509. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (2nd period), NGC AU 55 (“top pop”). S-P6; KM-5.1; Cal-672. 27.62 grams.

Very broad flan (“Great Module”) with nearly full crown and legends in addition to the well-detailed full shield and cross-lions-castles, beautifully toned all over, tied with two others for finest in NGC census out of (currently) 37 entries. NGC #5965627-014. Estimate: $300-$450.

510. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer C below erased B (2nd period), rare, NGC XF 45, finest and only example in NGC census. S-P5; KM-5.1; Cal-671. 27.68 grams. Typically broad flan with full but partially flat legends including PHILIPPVS, full crown, bold full cross-lions-castles, and well-detailed full shield, all with toning around details, but best feature is the CLEAR assayer B in the erasure above assayer C, the erasure also with a right-angle component at bottom left that makes it look like B/L (which it could be, but more likely the B punch itself was crafted from an S and an L). In any case, the 8R of assayer C is a famously rare and important issue that Sellschopp erroneously attributed to La Plata before it was known that Rincón was the first assayer of Potosí. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. NGC #6271298-004. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

511. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (3rd 512. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer B (3rd period). S-P10; KM-5.1; Cal-672. 27.06 grams. Exceptionally broad flan for the period, with much legend and full crown in addition to the full and well-detailed shield and cross, the former with no less than ten(!) fleurs in New Burgundy (a new record), scratches on shield, non-toned AU with traces of luster but also some light scuffs on obverse. To the uninitiated eye, the large flan of this example might be tempting to place into 2nd-period B, but certain die-elements in both the shield (tall, standing lions in León and flat lion in Brabant) and cross (new Seville lions) definitely correspond to 3rd period. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $350-$500.

Presumably toward the end of B’s 3rd period there was a change to a new castle design, both in the shield and the cross, with six tiny windows around a large main opening (Sellschopp #185), and this is arguably the finest known example, with superbly detailed full shield and cross-lions-castles, full crown, bold P-B and denomination, fully AU with no toning except for a dark brown stain near edge on reverse.

530. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1617 M, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census. S-P19; KM-10; Cal-921. 27.37 grams. Broad flan with full P-M and 1617 date that appears twice due to a shifted double-strike that does not affect the superb full cross-lions-castles ((the shield also full and choice) whose sharpness of details and manifest luster (with faint toning near edge only) justify this coin’s position as not only the finest for the date and type, but also the highest grade given to any Potosí cob 8R by NGC. As such, this coin is the ultimate trophy for the grade connoisseur looking for the best example of the first dated “crown” of Potosí. It is also interesting to note that this first-date example demonstrates how that part of the legend on a previous die was simply erased (including the border of dots) before adding the date.

grams. Bold full 29 of date outside of full but off-center cross, the

shield also full and well detailed, with bold P•T to left and denomination •8• to right, nearly full crown, lightly brown-toned all over. This scarce variety shows the transition between the heavier style of <1629 and the finer style of 1629+, as the borders contain big dots but the denomination has already been changed from o-VIII to 8 (open at top left). Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of June 1993, with original lot-tag 702. NGC #6272344-010. Estimate: $250-$375.

24.69 grams. Bold full 33 of date (scarce thus), clear P-T and denomi-

nation •8•, good full cross and shield (the latter with scratches at top left), well-detailed Fine with contrasting toning. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

547. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1634 T, rare, first cob collected by Paoletti, ex-Burzio, ex-Martini, ex-Janson, with hard-

bound copy #1 of Paoletti’s book 8 Reales Cobs of Potosí (3rd ed., 2016). S-P26; KM-19a; Cal-1459. 26.78 grams. Choice round flan with lovely rich toning, clear bottom half of date and king’s name, plus bold P-T and denomination •8•, the shield and (doubled) cross both full but with small streak of weak strike near centers due to uneven thickness, VF grade, definitely a premium coin even without its impressive pedigree. This important coin passed through the hands of several famous Argentine numismatists—Humberto Burzio, Siro de Martini and Hector Carlos Janson—before it was purchased by Emilio Paoletti in 1974, ostensibly his first cob and the inspiration for his grand opus that in 2016 culminated in the third edition of the 8 Reales Cobs of Potosí, his final work in this field. In correspondence he referred to it as “la primera moneda macuquina con la cual empecé mi pasión por las piezas del virreynado y que me impulsó a estudiar más profundamente y coleccionar las mismas.” Ironically, it was not plated in his book, so Emilio decided to memorialize this coin, which had so inspired him, by consigning it to our Auction 20 in 2016 (the last time it changed hands) along with copy #1 of his book, specially autographed for the occasion. We trust the winning bidder will be similarly inspired and perhaps become the next big scholar of Potosí cob 8 reales. Pedigreed to the Humberto Burzio, Siro de Martini, Hector Carlos Janson and Emilio Paoletti collections, accompanied by hardbound copy #1 of Paoletti’s book 8 Reales Cobs of Potosí (3rd ed., 2016) and signed by him on the first page where the number 001 appears, with “Buenos Aires” and date 3.3.2016, also pedigreed to our Auction 20, with original lot-tag 777 and photo-certificate.

XRF test results: 82.5% silver, 16.8% copper, traces of iron and lead. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

well past the outer borders, with full legends (king’s name as PHELIPVS per the period) and nearly full crown, full interiors (good cross, weaker shield), toned Fine with traces of gilding-removal, significantly without hole but with small, tangential segment broken off in its time, perhaps to regulate the weight (or evidence of some other type of pendant use instead of a hole), as it has been seen before on at least one other example (Guttag/Yriarte/Gibbs specimen, UBS Auction 70, March 2007, lot 65, similar weight), a die-match with Lázaro #110 (rated RX, meaning no more than three known, but our count is now four with this newly discovered example), first we have offered of this date.

Choice bold strike and grade (near AU with luster on fields, lightly toned all over), with nearly full crown and legends (HISP-) and well-detailed full shield and cross-lions-castles (“dancing” lions), full P-B, overall heavier style than 1st period, with looser-dot borders and slightly different style of castles.

Choice specimen with full and bold shield and cross-lions-castles, full P-erasure C with some evidence of the B inside the erasure, much legend and crown, the fields nicely toned but with some black encrustation in places. While this rare issue (once attributed to La Plata in error by Sellschopp, who did not have any 4R examples) shows the “dancing” lions of earlier assayers, the overall style is closer to 3rd-period B than to 2nd (note the “boxy” shield and heavier dots), so we believe the erased letter is just B without any complication with assayer L (or especially M).

example from the Atocha (1622), pedigreed to the famous Research Collection, with no corrosion and XF/VF details, excellent full shield and cross, much legend and nearly full crown. Second, it is a rare early issue with P-M to right (“large” M meaning a complete capital M with straight sides, as opposed to the “small” M with lower middle part and serifs); but to the early Potosí scholar what may be the most interesting is that it is struck from the same obverse die as Research Collection coin 37 (sold as lot 1051 in the Ponterio auction of March 1996 with incorrect RC reference) with assayer B punched over denomination ii to left and new denomination ii punched over P-M to right, a confusing re-use that skipped assayer L in between. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection and to the Atocha Research Collection (coin 21), with original Fisher tag 236072. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Estimate: $200-$300.

Full and well-detailed shield and cross-lions-castles (“Seville” lions), XF with a few minor flat spots, small areas of toning in crevices, the tiny mintmark P and assayer B/L bold, with bold denomination ii punched over a weak but certain P-M, fascinating instance of a coin die used by three different assayers. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection. Estimate: $250-$375.

606. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer B (1st period). S-P4; KM-3.2; Cal-370. 6.95 grams.

Broad round flan with small edge-split, nearly full legends, well-detailed full crown and shield and cross-lions-castles (“Seville” lions), full and bold P-L, interesting hybrid of an earlier reverse with tight-dot border and a later obverse with looser-dot border and an unidentified erasure (could be a B) behind the L, toned XF. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

608. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer B (1st period), NGC XF 40. S-P4; KM-3.2; Cal-370. 6.64 grams.

Estimate: $400-$600.

S-P5; KM-3.2; Cal-368. 6.57 grams.

sayer R (Rincón) below mintmark P to left, rare. S-P1; KM-2.2; Cal-237. 3.18 grams. Only seven pieces out of nearly three dozen Rincón

1R known to us have P-R to left, and all of them are from the same obverse die (Stallard O1). Two are struck from the same reverse die as the known Lima 1R of assayer X, so those are widely believed to have been struck at the ephemeral La Plata mint before the Potosí mint started in 1574. But research is starting to show that the R-to-left 1R like this one with new reverse die (Stallard E) may also be from La Plata.

The current example shows a choice full shield and cross-lions-castles, the former with distinctive wear and die-break at top right, full but doubled assayer, deeply toned VF. It is also somewhat underweight, like the two known examples with Lima reverses, perhaps another sign of La Plata mintage. Pedigreed to the Barry Stallard collection.

Estimate: $200-$300.

AVF with contrasting toning, full and well-detailed shield, full but partially weak cross (“flat” lions), much legend (HISP-) and nearly full crown, but most important aspect is the full and clear P-C without any erasure or over-punching (hence a new die), plugged hole in crown / left of cross. Pedigreed to the Jorge Ugaz collection. Estimate: $350-$500.

615. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer R (Rincón)

612. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 2 reales, Philip II, assayer B (5th

below mintmark P to right. S-P1; KM-2.1; Cal-238. 3.38 grams. Interesting hybrid with good full cross showing a deteriorated Lima lion in bottom left quadrant (Stallard dies O2/F), smallish flan with full crown above choice full shield flanked by bold denomination I to left and mintmark P to right above a weak but certain assayer R, toned VF.

Broad flan for the period, with bold but somewhat crude shield and cross, prominent borders of x’s, full P-B, no toning, lustrous all over indicative of very high grade (the best of eleven in current NGC census, which does not distinguish between all the periods of assayer B). NGC #5965053-001. Estimate: $250-$275.

741. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 4 reales Heart, 1696 VR, extremely rare, NGC VF 35, finest and only example in NGC census.

S-P40; KM-unl; Cal-506. 13.70 grams. By all accounts the rarest and most beautiful cobs of Potosí are the specially mint-crafted Hearts, believed to

pertain to the Catholic Church in general and the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ specifically. The rarest denomination is the 1/2 real (only four or five dates known), but not far behind is the 4 reales, which are comparatively impressive in size and known in just fourteen dates, of which this coin is the earliest and unique. Like a Royal (galano), its details are complete and evenly struck on a full-weight flan, holed at the top for wearing as a pendant, but the shape is a classic heart with prominent tail at bottom and large stem at top, aligned so the cross is straight up and down (pillars side slightly rotated), with lovely toning all over and damage-free except for the hole (which is why it is straight-graded by NGC), a premium example with multiple areas of attraction as a first-date, single-known, finest-known, presentation-strike trophy. Pedigreed to the Ponterio auction of March 1992 (lot 802, featured on color photo plate) and to the Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1997 (lot 1996).

With rich old toning and evident wear, including within the hole that got larger with use, this piece was surely a religious talisman for a long time, and in fact this is its first appearance on the market so far as we can tell (as it is not the Americas/Karon example nor the one in Calicó’s 2008 edition), its appeal for long use no doubt due to its classic shape with large stem and perfect medallic alignment with a second date neatly tucked into the tail. NGC #6205400-001. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

809. Potosí, Bolivia, cob 1/2 real Royal (galano), 1758, unique, NGC XF details / holed. S-P50a; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 1.69 grams. Very choice bold strike on a round flan of even thickness, the cross and monogram as strong as you could ever hope for (a far cry from the regular issues) and the flan broad enough to allow for a bold date, also very deeply toned all over, with inevitable hole at top of cross, extremely rare as a type and the first and only example of this unlisted date that we have seen or heard of.

Broad flan with nearly all the host-coin details still discernible, muted luster and faint toning, the Anguilla lettering dark and bold as usual, highest grade for this host date and second highest grade for the whole series. The story behind this incuse countermarking is that the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle at the time, a coin collector named Scott Newhall, wanted to raise funds to support Anguilla (which at the time was under the control of neighboring St. Kitts) in a bid to return to the British Commonwealth by selling some 11,600 coins so countermarked, but in the end no more than 3000 coins were released and the maker was stuck with the rest.

813. La Rioja, Argentina, 8 reales, 1840 R, “rebel peso,” very rare, NGC XF 40 (“top pop”).

Very deeply toned and faintly lustrous, struck slightly off-center, with no issues for the grade, one of just two in the NGC census (same grade), a particularly rare and desirable one-year type with REPUBLICA instead of CONFEDERADA in legend, as struck by rebel leaders under General Brizuela, governor of the province of La Rioja, breaking from federalist rule and his long-time ally General Juan Manuel de Rosas (governor of Buenos Aires).

Cal-824; KM-3. 27.07 grams. Fully struck-up UNC (rare without central weakness) but left in its uncleaned state in order to preserve the fascinating barnacle “footprints” and “eggs” (like snakeskin) and red staining, a unique and attractive item, especially as now “slabbed” with a shipwreck label. From the Luz (1752), pedigreed to the Fernandina collection (both stated on label). NGC #5965184-004 (Shipwreck Blue Label).

Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

Choice toning and luster for the assigned grade (second highest in NGC census), struck very slightly off-center but with bold details, just the highest points slightly weak (perhaps mistaken for wear), quite attractive and desirable. NGC #5943931002. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

868. Santiago, Chile, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV (bust of Charles III), 1805 FJ, very rare, NGC F 15 (“top pop”).

Cal-1422; KM-53. Very broad flan (reverse slightly off-center), with good toning and luster in legends, the bust and parts of rims weak, overall closer to VF in our opinion but rare in any grade (only two in the NGC census, both at this grade), very low mintage of 646 pieces. NGC #5955312-002. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

Colombia (colonial) Cobs

885. Cartagena, Colombia, cob 8 reales, 1621, assayer A to right, mintmark RN to left, ex-”Dry Tortugas wreck” (ca. 1622), extremely rare, PCGS VF details / environmental damage, Oceans Odyssey Plate Coin, Boletín Numismático Cover Coin.

Restrepo-M41.1; S-C2; KM-3.2; Cal-1229. 12.68 grams. Very broad flan with choice full cross-lions-castles and all-important 21 of date at 11-12 o’clock,

the nearly full shield equally well detailed with clear assayer A to right, just inside PHIL- of king’s name, most of crown at top, mintmark not visible but known to be RN to left (no denomination), attractively toned over moderately corroded surfaces all over, widely acknowledged as the nicest of just four clearly dated specimens known of this first issue of Cartagena, all lost on the 1622 Fleet and curiously recovered from separate wrecksites, namely the Atocha and the “Dry Tortugas wreck,” which some believe was the Portuguese-built Buen Jesus y Nuestra Señora del Rosario (read the accompanying book to learn more about the salvage and research behind this wreck). Three of the known specimens are nicknamed after the owners who held them when the 1621 date was confirmed, this one being the “Zucker specimen” after collector Samuel Zucker of Florida, who wrote an article about two of the coins (in addition to one from the same dies but without visible date owned by Herman Blanton) in a pair of 2005 articles in Coin World and PLVS VLTRA newsletter. A third clearly dated specimen, known as the Pearson specimen, was discovered shortly thereafter and offered in Sedwick Auction 3 in 2008 (lot 121), and then a fourth (unnamed) was sold in Sedwick Auction 8 in 2010 (lot 516). Those coins and the other clearly dated specimen in Zucker’s article—known as the Sinclair specimen—all came from the Atocha, as did Blanton’s undated piece. In his articles Zucker emphasized that he diligently searched for other specimens and found no others with visible dates despite several obverse matches, crucially lacking a pomegranate in the shield as opposed to similar 1622 issues WITH pomegranate that Jorge Proctor has proven were made in Bogotá (Boletín Numismático #105, 2nd semester 2018). In any case the present piece is the only one to be officially certified and encapsulated by PCGS, a befitting honor for what is effectively Colombia’s very first “dollar,” its sale well timed for the 3rd International Convention of Historians and Numismatists in Cartagena this December. From the “Dry Tortugas wreck” (ca. 1622), with original Seahawk certificate 91-1A-2081.0099 and Sedwick certificate from 2004, Plate Coin on page 187 of Oceans Odyssey 3 (2013), by Odyssey Marine Exploration, also featured in a DailyMail.com article of April 4, 2013 by Hugo Gye, and featured on the cover of Boletín Numismático issue 110 (2nd semester 2021), a copy of which accompanies this lot. PCGS #4268766. Estimate: $10,000-up.

886. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 8 reales, 1634 (?) (A), quadrants of cross transposed. Restrepo-M44.15; S-B5; KM-3.3; Cal-1540. 23.78 grams. Solid flan despite corrosion on shield side (probably from the

Concepción of 1641), the shield still full, and with nearly full crown above, but slightly doubled, with clear denomination VIII to right, the NR-A to left not visible but known for this date, full but centrally weak cross with full 163 and very bottom of 4 of date in legend, distinctive lions, VF details overall, darkly toned. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

888. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, assayer P below denomination IIII to right, mintmark NR to left, upper half of shield transposed (1627-32), unique, PCGS XF detail / water damage, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-M35.3 var; S-B4; KM-unl (2.2 for type); Cal-unl (Type 267). 12.87 grams. Choice full shield and cross with sharp details, clear N(R) to left and IIII-P to right, silvery but with a couple darker spots, evidently solid despite its shipwreck origin (probably Concepción of 1641), with very eye-catching transposition error that is so far unique and unlisted. Pedigreed to the Eldorado collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018), with original lot-tag 11053, and to the Gran Colombia collection. PCGS #85753750. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

889. Cartagena, Colombia, cob 4 reales, 1634, assayer E

887. Bogotá or Cartagena, Colombia, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, below mintmark C to right, very rare. Restrepo-M36.8; S-C3; KM-unl assayer not visible, mintmark RN to left outside of denomination IIII, no Flanders-Tirol in shield, unique, ex-Lasser (Coinage of El Peru Plate), Restrepo Plate. Restrepo-M35.10; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 11.68 grams. This well-pedigreed coin continues to defy definitive attribution. It is unique both for the omission of Flanders and Tyrol in the shield and for the fact that the mintmark R(N), which seems to indicate Cartagena mint but could instead be from Pinto’s RN-P issue of 1629 only (known in 2 escudos), appears upright and to the left of the vertical denomination IIII to the left of the shield, which is rather off-center but nearly full, a barely visible pomegranate at the bottom also indicative of Bogotá mint. The cross on the other side is full and well centered but double-struck, with lions and castles in proper quadrants (more characteristic of Cartagena). Nicely toned all over and no worse than AVF for wear, this coin has frustrated all experts so far, and until we see another from the same dies but with more visible information (like date or assayer), we will never know for sure which mint produced it. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection, Plate Coin on p. 76 of Restrepo’s Coins of Colombia (2012), Plate Coin on p. 128 of Lasser’s article “Silver Cobs of Colombia, 1622-1748” in The Coinage of El Peru (1988), also pedigreed to the Christensen auction of December 1980 (lot 493) and to the Ponterio auction of January 2005, with original lot-tag #774. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

(2.4 for type); Cal-unl (Type 261). 13.53 grams. Thick, round flan with full +C+E+ to right of 100% full shield, also good full cross with full final 4 and clear 3 of date in legend (this date unconfirmed in Restrepo, possibly unique), toned AVF. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection, with collector’s tag. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

890. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 2 reales, Philip IV, assayer P below denomination II to right, mintmark NR to left, lions and castles transposed in shield and cross (1627-30), ex-Lasser, KM Plate. Restrepo-M28.3; S-B4; KM-6.1; Cal-Type 250. 6.30 grams. Odd-shaped flan with choice full cross and shield, clear N.R. to left and II.P. to right, very nicely toned AVF, attractive but lacking a visible date. Pedigreed to the Joseph R. Lasser collection (Ponterio auction of January 2006, lot 387) and to the Gran Colombia collection, with collector’s tag, also Plate Coin in Krause-Mishler’s Standard Catalog references. Estimate: $500-$750.

891. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1 real, Philip IV, assayer A below mintmark NR

to left (1632-42), very rare. Restrepo-M20.18; S-B5; KM-5; Cal-Type 209. 3.04 grams. Nicely

toned XF with well-detailed full shield and cross (the latter with castles and lions in proper quadrants), full NR-A to left, flat peripheries and odd old gouge or natural flaw below shield. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $400-$600.

200

892. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1 real, 1653 R, mintmark N below P-LV-S, rare, NGC AU 53, ex-Eldorado and Nesmith Plate (both stated on label), finest known in NGC census. Restrepo-M24.9; S-B7; KM-9; Cal-778. 3.49 grams. Choice grade with sharp details

(and even some traces of luster) despite doubling on both sides, the shield and pillars nevertheless full and with clear 653 of date on pillars side (10-11 o’clock in legend), the doubling curiously causing the top-right lion to drop to the bottom quadrant, making the shield look like both bottom quadrants have lions. Pedigreed to the Eldorado collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11102) and plated in Robert Nesmith’s 1958 article “A Hoard of the First Silver Coins of Nuevo Reino de Granada,” coin #10b on plate XXXI and in a line drawing on page 527.

NGC #4917432-001. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

896. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/2 real, no assayer (Arce), Charles II posthumous with Philip V monogram (17001714), rare. Restrepo-M54.1; S-B11; KM-B8; Cal-

893. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1 real, Philip IV, assayer not visible (R), mintmark N below P-LV-S (early 1650s), rare.

Bold full pillars, well centered but with date off the flan, off-center and somewhat flat shield with most of crown above, round flan, AVF with lots of small marks, contrasting black toning in crevices. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $400-$600.

Restrepo-M24; S-B7; KM-9; Cal-Type 211. 3.42 grams.

894. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/2 real, 1662, assayer not visible (R), rare. RestrepoM16.6; S-B7; KM-8; Cal-615. 1.06 grams. Most of cross

struck off-center to enable a fairly clear 1662 date in legend (also with castles and lions in proper quadrants, unlike the Restrepo example), the monogram side also off-center but also rather weak, all dark and somewhat corroded from salvage, Fine details.

Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $250-$375.

895. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/2 real,

Type 59. 1.55 grams. Well-detailed XF+ but with both the monogram and cross struck off-center, in the case of the former enabling a full CARO to right and LV(S) below to be visible in the legend, also with bold full HISPANIA(RVM) on the cross side (but no visible date), castles and lions in proper quadrants, the fields lightly toned. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

897. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/2 real, Philip V, no assayer (1716-1721), proper quadrants. Restrepo-M68.1; S-B12; KM-B8; Cal-Type 60. 1.35 grams. Full monogram with part of king’s name and ordinal -PVS V below, choice bottom half of cross (nice castle and lion in proper quadrants) with bold (HISP)ANIARVM in legend, toned and slightly porous XF. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

898. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/2 real, Philip V, no assayer (1716-1721), quadrants of cross transposed. Restrepo-M68.1; S-B12; KM-B8; Cal-Type 60. 1.22 grams. Very bold full monogram and cross, the latter with lions and castles (transposed) in a unique style, parts of PHILIPVS visible on obverse, toned but lightly corroded XF. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $200-$300.

1702, no assayer (Arce), Charles II posthumous with Philip V monogram, unique. Restrepo-M54.1; S-B11; KM-B8; Cal-324 (under Ph. V). 1.51 grams. The Bogotá coinage of the period of 1700-2 is

rather chaotic, providing for an interesting study in gold but with very little silver known. Many of the coins show both Charles II (posthumous) and the new king Philip V in the legends. This currently unique discovery piece has a full and bold but off-center Philip monogram with clear -LVS II for Charles II in the legend on that side, the cross also bold and off-center (with castles and lions in proper quadrants) enabling a bold HISP- but also a nearly full final digit 2 of the date followed by a full ornament x in the legend, first we have seen or heard of, AXF with deeply toned fields. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $350-$500.

899. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/2 real, Philip V, assayer S to right, mintmark F to left, quadrants of cross transposed (1726), very rare. Restrepo-M68.2; S-B13; KM-B8; Cal-Type 60. 1.29 grams.

Nearly full monogram with full .F. to left, .+. above, and 72 of date below, which Restrepo attributes to 1726 and says “three known” (not including this one), the cross also nearly full with second mintmark F to left and distinctive lions and castles in transposed quadrants (also with characteristic x below cross), toned and somewhat porous VF. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $300-$450.

201

900. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip V, no assayer (1649-57), rare, PCGS VF30, finest and only example in PCGS census, ex-Eldorado. Restrepo-M14.1; KM-unl; Cal-530. Thick and sharply cut flan with deeply struck full castle and lion (the latter choice), darkly toned in crevices, that match known 8R issues of 16512, although the official mint records published by Barriga-Villalba in 1969 (Historia de la Casa de Moneda, Vol III, page 533) clearly state that 1/4R around this time (i.e., with this castle and lion) were only struck in the years 1649 (from which we have no 8 reales to compare with) and 1657 (whose 8 reales have a different castle and lion).

Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection and to the Eldorado collection (Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018, lot 11129). PCGS #84931112.

Estimate: $500-up.

903. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip V or Louis I, no assayer (1724-9), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.68 gram.

Choice, darkly toned XF specimen with corded border and distinctive castle (full) and lion (off-center) that match known 8R of 1722, but Barriga-Villalba’s Historia de la Casa de Moneda (1969), Vol III, page 537, records that 1/4R of this type were only struck in 1724, 1726 and 1729, first example we have seen (but also see next lot and lot 908). Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

904. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip V or Louis I, no assayer (1724-9), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.74 gram.

901. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Charles II, no assayer (1691-5), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.63 gram. Choice full castle and lion that match the known 8 reales of assayer Arce, and we note that Barriga-Villalba’s Historia de la Casa de Moneda (1969), Vol III, page 535, states that 1/4R around this time (i.e., with this castle and lion) were made only in 1691 and 1695, darkly toned all over, XF or better for grade, first example we have seen. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

Squarish flan with bold full lion, nearly full but off-center castle with bold corded border, the castle and lion punches similar but not identical to those on the 8R of 1722, so probably struck in a different year from the previous lot, noting that 1/4R of this type were only struck in 1724, 1726 and 1729 (Barriga Vol III page 537), first example we have seen. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

905. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip V, no assayer

902. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Charles II posthumous, no assayer (1704-8), rare. Restrepo-M53.2; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.92 gram.

Broad flan with choice full castle and lion of a distinctive style matching the 8 reales of 1703, but we note that Barriga-Villalba’s Historia de la Casa de Moneda (1969), Vol III, page 536, states that 1/4R around this time (i.e., with this castle and lion) were made only in 1704, 1705, 1707 and 1708, bold VF with contrasting toning on fields. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

(1740s), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.62 gram. Lightly toned XF+ with choice full lion and castle that match the 8E (gold) issues of 1746 but not the 8R issues of 1742, the exact date unfortunately indeterminate because the official records in Barriga-Villalba (Historia de la Casa de Moneda, 1969, Vol III, page 538) does not record the specific denominations made in silver cobs after 1742, this example the first we have seen. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

906. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Philip V(?), assayer not visible, rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.41 gram. Salvaged VF

Please place absentee bids at www.auction.sedwickcoins.com

with full but off-center castle and lion that we cannot positively match with any larger coins to determine time period, although the style fits late Philip V or possibly Ferdinand VI, darkly toned fields. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

202

907. Bogotá, Colombia, cob 1/4 real, Ferdinand VI, no assayer, lion facing right (ca. 1751), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-Type 9. 0.74 gram. XF or better, with corded

border visible above the bold full castle and around the crude lion (both off-center), the castle and lion punches matching known 8E (gold) of 1751 (no records in Barriga-Villalba between 1748 and 1755), in particular the right-facing lion. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

908. Bogotá, Colombia, cob mitad of a 1/4 real (?), Philip V, no assayer (1724-9), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.44 gram. The concept of an official “1/8 real” in the form of a half-weight

1/4 real is based on an article by Herman Blanton in the November/ December 2015 issue of NI Bulletin (Vol 50, Nos 11-12), in which the author cites Barriga-Villalba’s mint records (Historia de la Casa de Moneda, 1969, Vol III, page 537) that state “cuartillos y mitades” were struck in the year 1726, another theory being that “mitades” (“halves”) actually refers to 1/2R, which are known for this date without any other reference to them in the documents, in which case half-weight 1/4R like this one were simply cut down after striking (or corroded).

In any case, the present example bears corded borders and choice full castle and lion that match those on the known 8R of 1722 (but see lot 903 above for Barriga-Villalba record showing 1/4R were made in 1724, 1726 and 1729 only), darkly toned XF with light surface porosity. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

909. Bogotá, Colombia, cob mitad of a 1/4 real (?), Ferdinand VI, no assayer (1748-55), very rare. Restrepo-unl; KM-unl; Cal-unl. 0.36 gram. Square-cut flan of half-1/4R weight (see previous lot for explanation), dark XF with slight porosity, no borders, with very choice full castle and lion that match or at least resemble the latest cob issues and even the milled coins under Ferdinand VI (no records in Barriga between 1748 and 1755), first example we have seen or heard of. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection. Estimate: $500-up.

Gold

910. Bogotá, Colombia, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, “rat nose,” 1762 JV, very rare, NGC AU 55 (finest known in

NGC census). Restrepo-71.1; Cal-2079; KM-41. With light red toning over luster in legends, choice strike (just slightly off-center, but rims still full), with only light wear and marks per the assigned grade, very rare first date of the historically important first issue to depict Charles III (albeit in a less-than-flattering “rat nose” version) and not to be confused with the relatively less rare Ferdinand VI-portrait pieces of the same date, this date significantly missing in Karon, Eliasberg, Caballero de las Yndias, Norweb and Ortiz, with only one example (Eldorado) graded higher by PCGS (AU58).

Nice luster and color, bagmarks on obverse only, which shows a portrait of the martyred Wenceslaus I, Duke of Bohemia, better known as “Good King Wenceslas” of Christmas carol fame (more accurately a carol for the Feast of St. Stephen, the day after Christmas). NGC #5962291-003. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Danish West Indies

1003. Danish West Indies, gold 4 daler, Christian IX, 1905, mint master P, moneyer GJ, PCGS MS65. KM-72. Lustrous, bright white gold with minor bagmarks, a two-year type (1904-5) that is popular as the last gold coins struck before the sale of the Danish West Indies to the United States at the end of 1916, now known as the U.S. Virgin Islands. PCGS #37370380. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

1004. Danish West Indies, small uniface brass 5 cents token, D.O.C., ca. 1890, unique, ex-Byrne, Higgie Plate. Higgie-408A. 4.41 grams. A spartan design with incuse D.O.C. above 5c stamped onto one side, the other side blank but both sides with toothed rims, evidently unique, as it seems the same piece that Higgie published in 1962 (“used by the Danish East India Company in the Danish West Indies”) kept coming up for sale over the intervening decades. Most likely this was an issue that was generally melted down during WWII, and the meaning of the D.O.C. letters was lost in the process. Aged brass color with toning in details, minor spots of verdigris and a few old marks, VF overall, with offset ghosts of the C and 5 from previous stamping(s). Plate piece #408A in Higgie’s The Colonial Coinage of the U.S. Virgin Islands (1962), pedigreed to the Christensen auction of May 1973 (lot #105) and to the Ray Byrne collection (Jess Peters, June 1975, lot #400), also pedigreed to the Hornung (Copenhagen) auction of October 1983 (lot #456). Estimate: $600-$900.

Dominican Republic (colonial) 1005. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, copper 2 maravedís, Charles-Joanna, assayer F, very rare. S-SD1; KM-41; Cal-17. 0.91 grams. While the 4 maravedís of this series is relatively common due to hoards, the 2 maravedís is rarely seen, this example being on the second we have offered. The inner details are full (mintmark S-P flanking crowned pillars on obverse, assayer F and denomination II flanking a large crowned Y on reverse), also with some legend that shows parts of CAROLVS and IOHANA (not enough to identify the exact Estrella number, but in fact more likely unlisted), VF overall with typically dark and oxidized surfaces but no visible rust or verdigris, also with intact edge, a premium specimen of a very rare type. Estimate: $600-$900.

Dominican Republic

1006. Dominican Republic (struck at the Heaton Mint), copper-nickel proof 2-1/2 centavos, 1888-HH, NGC PF 64, ex-Rudman. KM-7.4. Faintly blue- and rose-toned mirrorlike surfaces with minor bagmarks, second highest grade in NGC census. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet.

Gorgeous proof in rich (pure) gold with reverse design of a pillar dollar and obverse with portrait of the Taino cacique Enriquillo (who had rebelled against the Spanish in the early 1500s), just a couple trivial bagmarks and faint friction on bust, a very scarce non-circulating issue of which only about 15 were struck, this example being the only one in PFUC at NGC. NGC #6271286-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

copper-nickel 10 centavos, 1973, NGC MS 68 (“top pop”), exRudman. KM-19a. Bold strike, strong luster all over, trace of friction on cheek, currently tied with fourteen others for finest in NGC census. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #2101511-026.

1013. Dominican Republic,

cartwheel luster, minimal light bagmarks, currently tied with six others for finest in NGC census. The portrait on this series (through lot 1012) is the same bust of Enriquillo as on the previous lot, not a “native princess” as stated in KM. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #2108699-016. Estimate: $200-$300.

copper-nickel 10 centavos, 1986, NGC MS 67, ex-Rudman. KM-60.

A specimen strike, in our opinion, brilliant and prooflike, virtually flawless, second highest grade in NGC census for regular MS (but would be finest known for SP). Pedigree to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet.

NGC #5715563-012. Estimate: $200-$300.

Ecuador

1014. Quito, Ecuador, 8 reales, 1846 GJ, rare, NGC AU 55.

Seppa-70; KM-32. Deeply toned over reflective fields with considerable original mint luster for the assigned grade, a rare and popular one-year type (only 1386 pieces struck) in beautifully artistic design (similar to the 5 francos of 1858) that has the distinction of being the only Ecuadorian 8 reales (old Spanish standard). NGC #5969618-001.

Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Egypt 1015. Egypt (Ottoman Empire), gold 500 qirsh, Abdul Aziz, AH1277//11 (1870-71), Cairo mint (Misr), very rare, NGC MS 63 (“top pop”). KM-265; Fr-78. Large gold coin with lustrous open fields (nearly prooflike) displaying minimal marks and no wear, from a short series and desirable as the highest denomination (mintage of only 200 pieces) made in only four years, which Friedberg simply calls “Rare” without value in UNC, as many were made into jewelry, this example in fact exceptional and choice for the assigned grade (in our opinion the finest ever to come up for auction) and currently tied with one other for finest in NGC census. NGC #1883694-001.

Estimate: $20,000-up.

El Salvador (provisional) 1016. San Salvador, El Salvador, provisional 2 reales, 1832, no assayer, PROBICIONAL and SALVADORE, NGC VF details / tooled.

Broad flan with gorgeous rainbow toning over luster, slightly off-center strike, with a series of old, faint scratches above date for the “tooled” limiter, full details including a cluster of eleven dots in legend to right of date that some believe is a symbol for the assayer (Type C2 in Yonaka and Jovel). Curiously, the R of the denomination appears to have been re-stamped in the die, making it much bolder than the rest of the details. All in all, a premium coin despite the “details” grade. NGC #5961187-006. Estimate: $600-$900.

KM-11 (for type).

218

El Salvador (countermarks and counterstamps) Type II

1017. El Salvador, 2 reales, zigzag test mark (Type II, 1834-5) on obverse of Lima, Peru, 2 reales, 1828 JM, rare, NGC VF 25, finest known in NGC census. KM-103.

Very strong countermark in left field on Liberty side, with deep and rich rainbow toning all over, traces of luster around details, hefty rims, the finer of just two straight-graded examples in the NGC census. NGC #5929023-010. Estimate: $400-$600.

Type IV

1018. El Salvador, 8 reales, R-in-beaded-circle countermark

(Type IV, 1862) on a Guatemala 8 reales 1859 R, very rare, NGC VF 30, c/s XF standard. KM-99. 24.38 grams. Full counter-

mark on a lightly worn host with contrasting toning in crevices, one of three at the VF level at NGC that are technically tied for second finest behind a single AU 53. The El Salvador Type IV-countermarked 8 reales is one of the great crown-sized rarities of Latin America, with reportedly only five pieces known, none having crossed the auction block in recent decades, hence the current example is an important opportunity and worth pursuit by astute collectors. NGC #5965629013. Estimate: $4,000-up.

Type V

1019. El Salvador, 4 reales, R-in-beaded-circle countermark

(Type IV, 1862) on a Guatemala 4 reales 1861 R, rare, NGC VF 30, c/s XF standard. KM-96. 12.07 grams. Full countermark on

a lightly worn host with contrasting toning in crevices, a few minor marks only, one of three at the VF level at NGC that are technically tied for second finest behind a single AU 55, the example additionally desirable for the fact that the countermark was placed upright relative to Carrera’s bust. NGC #5965629-014. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1020. El Salvador, 1/2 real, R-inbeaded-circle countermark (Type IV, 1862) on a Guatemala 1/2 real 1861 R. Nearly full countermark (the R bold) on a lightly worn host (VF) with full details except for flat area on reverse opposite the countermark, nicely toned all over. Estimate: $250-$375.

KM-83. 1.39 grams.

1021. El Salvador, 2 reales, arms countermark (Type V, 1868) twice on a Potosí, Bolivia, bust 2 reales, Charles III, 1778 PR. KM-55. 5.98 grams. VG host (unevenly worn, the date weak but the mintmark bold) with Fine countermark (also a bit uneven) that was punched onto the coin twice (slightly offset), all richly toned and interesting. Estimate: $200-$300.

by Pope John Paul II, NGC PF 69 Ultra Cameo (“top pop”).

A very scarce 2-oz gold commemorative of the visit of Pope John Paul II to Equatorial Guinea on February 18, 1982, the fields very deeply mirrored and the details frosty and totally devoid of any marks, one of three at this top grade in the current NGC census. Pedigreed to the Heritage auction of April 2016, lot 29829. NGC #4224578-001. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

tions on obverse but choice grade, in fact second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 62, which happens to be lot 333 in this auction (ex-Chameau). NGC #6268663-010. Estimate: $1,250-$2,000.

1128. Guatemala, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1758 J,

NGC XF 45. Cal-436; KM-18. 26.88 grams. Very bold strike enhanced

by dark toning around details, slightly off-center strike, really an attractive coin for the grade, variety with no abacus at the top of each pillar (Yonaka-G8-58b). NGC #5964168-001. Estimate: $400-$600.

1129. Guatemala, pillar 8 reales, Charles III, 1768 P, PCGS VF25. Cal-1000; KM-27. Smooth fields with nice, rich toning all over, slightly crude rims (as made), generally scarce date but the normal variety (Yonaka-G8-68a). PCGS #40867159. Estimate: $500-$750.

1130. Guatemala, pillar 4 reales, Charles III, 1769 P. Cal-1052; KM-26. 13.37 grams. Lustrous XF with very light toning turning dark near top rim on shield side, scratches at 9-10 o’clock on that side, scarce date and variety with inverted N in VNUM (Yonaka-G4-69).

Estimate: $400-$600.

Gold

1131. Guatemala, gold bust 2 escudos, Ferdinand VII, 1808 M, very rare, NGC MS 61, finest and only example in NGC

census, ex-Stuart. Cal-1590; KM-70. Lustrous and choice, with all elements of strike perfectly detailed and the fields satin smooth save for a couple trivial marks, first year of a very rare type encompassing just three non-consecutive dates (1808, 1811 and 1817), undergraded in our opinion but without rival in any case, assuredly finest known and with a celebrated pedigree to boot. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection (stated on special label). NGC #4427731-006. Estimate: $10,000-up.

Busts 1132. Guatemala, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1815 M, NGC MS 61. Cal-1228; KM-69. 27.02 grams. Nice luster with rainbow toning in legends, slight central weakness keeping it from a higher grade (as no problems otherwise), choice nonetheless (second highest grade in NGC census). NGC #5964168-002. Estimate: $350-$500.

231

1133. Guatemala, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1821 M, NGC AU 58. Cal-1236; KM-69. 26.90 grams. Bright white with nontoned luster (especially the reverse), choice strike, faint marks and hairlines. NGC #5964168-003. Estimate: $350-$500.

example in NGC census. Cal-545; Medina-296; Grove-F60 var; Herrera-16 var. 3.29 grams. Highly lustrous and well struck, with flan bulge bottom left of bust and perhaps a little high-point wear on reverse, overall exceptional for a piece that is usually found worn and holed. It is interesting to note that both Herrera and Grove list this issue with just the initials PG and not PGA (for engraver Pedro García Aguirre) below the bust, which Medina says was because Herrera’s was simply a defective example, but we suspect the truth is that this is actually a different variety. In any case it comes from a series of proclamation medals struck for the Real Pontificia Universidad de San Carlos (now known as the Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala, the largest and oldest university of Guatemala) at a time when the region was under New Spain (Mexico). NGC #5965633-004. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

like RD in our estimation), traces of undercoin visible (mostly on reverse), with diagnostic dark spot on reverse rim to prove its pedigree. Plate Coin in the Krause-Mishler Standard Catalog references. NGC #5928785-043. Estimate: $200-$300.

Haiti

1160. Haiti, 50 centimes, AN 25 (1828), Boyer, NGC MS 62, ex-Rudman.

KM-20.

Deep golden-rainbow colors over luster, with slightly soft centers and die-polish lines on obverse, desirable grade. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #3236021-020. Estimate: $200-$300.

Honduras

1161. Honduras (struck at the Paris Mint), copper-nickel proof 5 reales pattern, 1870-TASSET, President Medina, rare, NGC PF 64, ex-Stuart. KM-Pn12. Nice luster and frosty details, very lightly gold-toned with a few darker streaks on reverse, rare and popular pattern for a denomination that was never adopted, also noteworthy for its obverse legend recognizing Captain-General and President José Maria Medina (who was executed in 1878), second highest grade in NGC census behind a pair of PF 65’s. Pedigreed to the Richard Stuart collection (stated on special label) and to Sedwick Auction 21 (lot 1542). NGC #4427714-001. Estimate: $1,500-$2,250.

235

India (British)

1164. India (British), 1 rupee, Victoria (as Queen), no date (1862-76), NGC

Mint Error VF 25, reverse brockage. KM-473. Fascinating error with entire bust of Queen Victoria visible in mirror-incuse on reverse, the obverse with fully detailed bust but weaker legend due to the brockage, caused by a previous coin sticking to the reverse die during manufacture, toned all over and remarkably well circulated in its time instead of being set aside for the error. NGC #5958294-001. Estimate: $200-$300.

Italian States Parma

1165. Parma (Italian States), 5 lire, Maria Luigia, 1832/15, NGC AU 58. Mont-117; KM-C30; Dav-204. Deeply rainbow toned over luster, the sharp central details somewhat frosty in comparison but with faint wear on highest points. NGC #6268663-005. Estimate: $300-$450.

Italy (Kingdom)

1166. Milan, Italy (Kingdom), gold 40 lire, Napoleone I, 1812-M, “puntali sagomati” variety (halberds with shaped tips), PCGS MS61. Mont-204; KM-12; Fr-5.

NGC #5969226-006. Estimate: $400-$600.

Japan

1168. Japan (Osaka mint), gold 10 yen, Emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 33 (1900), PCGS MS65+. KM-Y33; Fr-51; JNDA-01-7. Superb cartwheel luster and satin-smooth surfaces save for just a

couple minuscule bagmarks, matching the highest grade at NGC and second finest in PCGS census behind a single MS66. PCGS #40618610. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1169. Japan (Osaka mint), gold 10 yen, Emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 41 (1908),

PCGS MS63. KM-Y33; Fr-51; JNDA-01-7. Rich gold color and nice luster, light bagmarks on reverse.

PCGS #3686371. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

1170. Japan (Osaka mint), gold 10 yen, emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 42 (1909), PCGS

MS65+. KM-Y33; Fr-51; JNDA-01-7. Blazingly lustrous and satin smooth, with faint friction marks in just a couple places, only half a grade away from top grade of MS66 at both PCGS and NGC. PCGS #40618603. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

1171. Japan (Osaka mint), gold 5 yen, Emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 45 (1912), PCGS

MS64. KM-Y32; Fr-52; JNDA-01-8. Rich gold color with somewhat muted luster, faint bagmarks only.

PCGS #15993922. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

236

1172. Japan (Osaka mint), 50 sen, Emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 4 (1871), three spines variety, PCGS MS65. KM-Y4a.1; JNDA-01.13A. Superb cartwheel luster with light golden toning on and near rims. PCGS #80066206.

Estimate: $400-$600.

1173. Japan (Osaka mint), proof 20 sen, Emperor Mutsuhito, Meiji year 13 (1880), extremely rare, NGC PF 62. KM-Y24; JNDA-unl.

Flawless strike with faint rainbow toning splashed across the lustrous surfaces, the reverse like a sunset and the dragon on the obverse particularly well defined by the toning, with just a few faint wisps on the mirrored fields but no marks or any evidence of mishandling, a highly important, very low-mintage gem. Drawing comparisons to the famous King of Siam US proof set from the early 1800s, the fourteen-piece Japanese Meiji-13 proof set was similarly used for diplomatic purposes (presumably for presentation to heads of state) and remains surprisingly elusive, as up to 77 sets were reportedly made but no intact sets are known today. The closest to a complete set, eleven pieces, was in the John Pittman collection (David Akers auction of August 1999, lot 5152, acquired from the Farouk sale in 1954), including a box that might have been original, and a second set of eleven (but not all the same denominations as Pittman) was sold at Heritage in January 2017, both setting worldwide records and generating lots of excitement in the world of Japanese numismatics. Each denomination in the set is now a major rarity, the present denomination from a recorded mintage of only 96 pieces (presumably all proofs given as gifts and never meant for circulation) and thought to be unique by Pittman. His example, lacquered and hairlined, is now known to be one of three ever offered for public sale, with the addition of the Heritage example in PF 63, the present one being technically the same grade but with more eye-appeal in our opinion, a historical and numismatic gem for the most advanced collectors in the world. NGC #6268661-001. Estimate: $35,000-up.

237

Martinique (French Colony)

1174. Martinique (French Colony), gold 22 livres, countermark “22” over eagle (1805) on a genuine Rio, Brazil, 6400 reis, José I, 1759-R, PCGS AU58, c/m UNC detail. KM-37; Fr-2. Visibly intact host (weight not stated) with choice details and traces

of luster under light red toning, the countermark (Gordon Variety B reworked) as deep and sharp as they come, the scarcer of this island’s two stamps (the other being 20-over-eagle, reserved for circulating forgeries), decreed in 1805 and applied by goldsmith Costet, emulating an 1804 decree on Guadeloupe. It is interesting to note that this all occurred during a brief period of French control after the Treaty of Amiens, as otherwise the island was British-controlled until a permanent return to the French following the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815.

PCGS #36315782. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

Mexico (colonial) Gold

1175. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Philip V, 1736 MF, florette above assayers, NGC MS 61. Cal-2235; KM-148.

Choice strike and rims, rather lustrous, with faint surface hairlines on obverse and minor flan-bulge behind head, still among the best overall for this desirable early type (second highest grade at NGC behind a pair of MS 62’s). NGC #3735673-004. Estimate: $6,000-up.

238

1176. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Philip V, 1744 MF, NGC MS 63. Cal-2249; KM-148. Superb original luster and strike, with perfect rims and sharp details all over, splashes of red toning on obverse (some faint hairlines), a flashy beauty that is tied for second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 64+. NGC #5961964-001. Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

1177. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Philip V, 1745 MF, NGC MS 61. Cal-2250; KM-148. Gorgeous rainbow toning over luster in legends, good strike with full rims, high points lightly worn but overall a very eye-catching and beautiful coin. NGC #43511106002. Estimate: $10,000-up.

1178. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III (young bust, “rat nose”), 1771 MF, rare, NGC AU 55. Cal-1997; Choice luster and fully detailed strike with full rims, lightly hairlined and bagmarked but otherwise fully UNC, final year of a rare type that is known in Spanish as “cara de rata” (rat face) and in English as “rat nose” due to a perhaps too realistic portrait of the young king.

NGC #2777141-010. Estimate: $10,000-$15,000.

KM-155.

1179. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles IV, 1794 FM, NGC MS 60.

Brightly lustrous, with light surface hairlines on obverse, typically weak centers, surely a candidate for updated grading. NGC #5961237-002. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Cal-1633; KM-159.

1180. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 2 escudos, Charles IV transitional (bust of Charles III, ordinal IV), 1790 FM, extremely rare, NGC VF 30, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-1484; KM-131. Traces of toning and luster in legends, light central wear and marks, a very rare key two-year transitional type (missing in most private and institutional collections, including the Banco de Mexico) and an extremely rare date, of which only about five are known, this being the only one in the NGC census since the Rudman specimen in Heritage (August 2015, lot 31287), then graded NGC XF 40, was subsequently re-graded as AU details by PCGS and resold by Stack’s Bowers earlier this year (January 2021, lot 22229). NGC #5955312-001. Estimate: $10,000-up.

1181. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 1 escudo, Charles III, 1776 FM, NGC XF 45. Cal-1599; KM-118.2. 3.35 grams. Traces

1183. Mexico City, Mexico, gold bust 1 escudo, Ferdinand VII transitional (“armored” bust), 1812 HJ, NGC MS 63+. Cal-1514; KM-121. Choice luster and very bold strike including nearly full rims, scarce transitional type, exceptional grade (second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 64). NGC #5961237-003. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

240

Pillars

1184. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1745 MF, NGC MS 65, finest known in NGC census. Cal-1468; KM-103.

Frosty and almost prooflike with brilliant luster, choice strike, every element sharp and bold, the finest for the date (tops at PCGS being MS64) and just one away from top grade for the entire series, which is significant for something so highly collected and in-demand as Mexican pillar dollars, the kind of coin that rarely comes to market and should be jumped on for the opportunity it presents. NGC #4427723-006.

Estimate: $10,000-up.

1185. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1745 MF, NGC MS 61. Cal-1468; KM-103. Richly toned and boldly struck (very slightly off-center), the fields smooth but lacking in luster for a higher grade. NGC #5969618-002. Estimate: $1,000-up.

1186. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1746 MF, NGC MS 64. Cal-1470; KM-103. Good original luster (stronger on shield side) with traces of incipient toning, sharp full strike with fields so clean that you can even see the ghost of an offset digit 6 of the date (re-punched), exceptional and numerically top grade (tied with one other for second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 64+, tops at PCGS being MS63). NGC #5969618-003. Estimate: $3,500-up.

1187. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1747 MF, NGC MS 64, finest known in NGC census, ex-Rudman. Cal1472; KM-103. Very

frosty with mirrorlike luster and sharp full details, parts of rims slightly crude due to minor centering issues but otherwise as nice as they come, an exceptional grade (just one finer at PCGS in MS65), also interesting as a posthumous issue. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet and to Heritage Auction #3054 (lot 31029). NGC #4427723-008. Estimate: $5,000-up.

1188. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1754 MF, crowns alike, NGC AU 58. Cal-482; KM-104.1. Frosty and somewhat lustrous, a perfect example of a coin that is technically MS (with only faint evidence of friction on highest points) but looks slightly worn due to weaker strike (particularly in the centers), also with light adjustment marks, still conditionally choice. NGC #4351128-006.

Estimate: $700-$1,000.

1189. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 2 reales, Philip V, 1733 F, very rare, NGC VG details / plugged, ex-Rudman. Cal-805; KM-84. Non-toned and polished but with only light, even wear (more like Fine or even low VF in our opinion), the professional repair at top not obvious but also not deceptive, one of maybe five specimens known, noted by Gilboy (M-2-2) as the rarest of four major types for this date (combining the two possible mintmarks, oM and MX, and the two possible assayers, F and MF), R2 in Yonaka (M2-33). Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #2787318-004. Estimate: $400-$600.

1190. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 2 reales, Philip V, 1735/4 MF, NGC AU 58, finest known in NGC census. Cal-810; KM-84. Broad flan with bold rims, choice details with only very light wear, all beautifully rainbow toned with lustrous fields, simply gorgeous, this overdate actually the commonest variety for this year according to Yonaka (M2-35a). NGC #6272083-001. Estimate: $1,000-up.

1191. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 2 reales, Ferdinand VI, 1754 M, NGC AU 58.

Cal-295; KM-86.1. Lovely rainbow toning over notable luster, great strike with bold rims, minor high-point wear but no problems, common date (Yonaka-M2-54) but choice grade, second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 62. NGC #5955325-005. Estimate: $400-$600.

1192. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 1 real, Philip V, 1733 MF, NGC VF details / test

punch damage, cleaned, ex-Rudman. Cal-507; KM-75.1. Bold strike with only light high-point wear and relatively smooth fields for the grade (arguably XF by more recent standards), the test punch easy to miss above the dot after the D of D.G., silvery from cleaning, actually slightly less common than the MX-mintmark variety for this year (Yonaka-M1-33e). Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet. NGC #2787318-003. Estimate: $200-$300.

1193. Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 1/2 real, Ferdinand VI, 1759 M, NGC AU 58. Cal98; KM-67.2. Choice rainbow toning over and bold details (including rims), lacking in luster but minimal wear, common date (Yonaka-M-05-59, the only variety). NGC #5955325-009. Estimate: $200-$300.

Busts

1197. Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8 reales, Charles IV, 1807 1194. Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8 reales, Charles III, 1786 TH, NGC MS 62.

FM, NGC AU 58. Cal-1129; KM-106.2a. Beautiful coin with choice, deep rainbow toning over luster, only light wear and marks, common date (Yonaka M8-86) and far from finest known but very attractive for the grade. NGC #5955325-007. Estimate: $400-$600.

Choice luster (especially on reverse), good strike except for slightly weak high points, faint surface hairlines, Yonaka-M8-107. NGC #5948664-002. Estimate: $300$450.

Cal-986; KM-109.

1198. Mexico City, Mexico, bust 1/2 real, Charles III, 1782 FF, NGC MS 63 (“top pop”), ex-Rudman.

KM-107. 27.02 grams.

KM-59. Very

bold strike, with deep dark toning over traces of luster, parts of rims slightly crude (as made), evidence of fibrous strike-through in obverse field, truly a choice example, in fact second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 65 RB. From a brief, late series of copper coins, this smallest denomination also known as a pilón but confusingly showing denomination as “1/8” for octavo, meaning neither 1/8 real (as stated on label) nor 1/8 tlaco (as stated in Calicó, there also erroneously translated as 1/4 real) but in fact valued at half of a tlaco (the circulating merchant token at the time, valued at 1/8 real) or 1/16 real (Yonaka-M01C-114). NGC #5961239-001. Estimate: $500-$750.

Mexico (War of Independence) Durango 1196. Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8 reales, Charles IV, 1791 FM, ex-Bevill. Cal-953; KM-109. 26.58 grams. Attractively rainbow-

toned AU with underlying luster, light porosity in legends and faint scrape on king’s jaw, first date with proper bust of Charles IV and in fact the only denomination struck that year, according to Yonaka (M8-91). Pedigreed to the Jim Bevill collection (Sedwick Auction 23, lot 1372). Estimate: $200-$300.

Lustrous and very lightly rainbow toned, typically slightly crude with weak centers and incomplete rims, a few minor marks, tied with one other for second finest in NGC census behind a single AU 58, final date of colonial issue. NGC #6272344-007. Estimate: $500-$750.

244

1201. Durango, Mexico, bust 2 reales, Ferdinand VII (“armored” bust), 1812

RM, very rare, NGC VG 10, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-773; KM92.3. Very

crude strike as expected for the initial issues of this mint, with lots of flatness but crucially showing full date and mintmark, also with nice toning, perhaps unfairly graded but without comparison since the only others we have seen in recent years (four total, not counting the present coin) were not slabbed. NGC #6272338-001. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Guadalajara

1202. Guadalajara, Mexico, bust 8 reales, Ferdinand VII, date not visible (1812-15), assayer MR, PCGS Mint Error VF25, multi-struck obv/rev. Cal-Type 294: KM-111.3. Fascinating error with up to five misaligned strikes showing about a 45-degree rotation, un-

fortunately cutting off the date but showing bold assayers (twice), attractively toned and not overly worn, clearly well circulated despite the error, first we have seen or heard of for this period and obviously important for the War of Independence specialist or trophy-error collector.

PCGS #42473778. Estimate: $5,000-up.

Mexico (Empire of Iturbide)

1203. Mexico City, Mexico, 8 reales, 1823 JM, Iturbide, 1204. Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, 1822 JM, Iturbide, NGC colonial edge, flat-top 3, NGC AU details / cleaned. KM-310.

Bold bust and sharp eagle except for center, most of legends also bold and lustrous, with small spots of toning here and there, very faint and inconsequential hairlines, scarce and popular brief type. NGC #5965627-012. Estimate: $350-$500.

MS 63. KM-302. Mirrorlike luster and frosty details, the bust slightly doubled on the die (error), parts of rims crude (as made) and with center of eagle weak as usual, but overall well struck and impressively flashy, tied with two others for finest in NGC census, also a desirable one-year issue (unlike the other silver denominations). NGC #5968036-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

mintmark and denomination, bold crown (nearly full), full but weaker shield and (off-center) cross-lions-castles with clear tressure in characteristically rotated orientation, not much legend (partially flat), lightly gray-toned all over, tied with one other for second finest in NGC census behind a single XF 40. NGC #5961054-001.

Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

1217. Panama, cob 1/2 real, Philip II, mintmark A to left and P to right (unique), no king’s name in legends, NGC AU 53,

finest and only example in NGC census. S-unl (cf. AP2); Cal-unl (Type 64); KM-unl (1 for type). 1.64 grams. Very important discovery coin, as it is a completely new variety missing in Proctor, with very clear mintmark split by the full but doubled monogram with full crown above, choice full cross-lions-castles, and just enough legend to see that neither side has the king’s name, all boldly detailed and nicely toned. It is possible that the doubling has obscured an assayer M below the monogram, and it is also possible that the P to the right is an assayer and the engraver simply punched the A to left too low to allow for a P below it to complete the AP mintmark. As for the legends, notice that the monogram side says D.G.HISPANI and the cross side says D.G. ISPANIARVM with a backwards D, which seems to indicate an unintended marriage of dies from different engravers. The untrained eye could be excused for mistaking this coin for Potosi Philip II assayer A, and perhaps there are other examples out there so mislabeled, but the elements of design (particularly the crown and backwards D) are distinctly Panamanian, and for now this is the only one we know of. NGC #6269471-001. Estimate: $3,000-up.

Papal States

Choice for the assigned grade, with nice luster and only light bagmarks, perhaps just a trace of highpoint wear. Pope Pius IX’s 32-year reign was the longest on record and marked the end of the sovereign Papal States. NGC #5962291-004. Estimate: $300-$450.

Paraguay (War of the Triple Alliance) 1219. Paraguay (War of the Triple Alliance), 1 real, countermark “1” in rounded hexagonal

field of horizontal lines (1865-70) on a wavy-edge 1/4 cut of a Bolivian Republic 4 soles 1855, very rare, NGC VF 30, c/s VF standard. Pratt-MR2; KM-B2. 3.08 grams. Nearly full countermark

and nice sharp cut, providentially oriented so the host date 1855 is centered on the other side (extremely rare thus), lovely deep toning all over, scarce and important emergency issue from the war against the Triple Alliance of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay in 1865-70. NGC #6272344-005. Estimate: $1,000-up.

undulating cut with bold and nearly full countermark (atypically in retrograde, the exact meaning of the letter unknown) with several intentional slashes (metal tests?) on that side, not much host detail, richly toned all over, one of the rarest types of emergency issues from the war against the Triple Alliance of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay in 1865-70. NGC #6272344-004. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Paraguay (Republic)

1222. Paraguay, coin-sized gold medal, 1964, visit by Charles de Gaulle. 10.02 grams; 25mm. Attractively lustrous with matte-smooth but lightly hairlined fields, its spartan design showing

1221. Asunción, Paraguay, bronze 4 centésimos, 1870, the Paraguayan lion on one side and busts of Paraguayan President

SAEZ. KM-4.3. 22.95 grams. Dark brown XF with areas of light verdigris, minor laminations and deep edge-crack, its crudeness characteristic of its manufacture in Asunción as opposed to the Heaton Mint in London, actually rather well preserved for the type. Estimate: $200-$300.

Alfredo Stroessner and French President Charles de Gaulle on the other, commemorating the latter’s visit to Paraguay in October 1964.

We were unable to find more information about this medal, but note that Heritage sold an example of its larger sibling (50 grams, 45mm) in 2020 for $5,250 hammer. While non-denominated and medallic in theme, we note these pieces were struck in coin alignment. Estimate: $500-$750.

Puerto Rico (under Spain)

1248. Puerto Rico (under Spain), dollar, fleur-de-lis countermark (1885) on a USA (mint not visible), $1 Morgan, 1880, PCGS Good detail / holed, very rare. Cal-unl; KM-unl. The fleur-de-lis countermark of Puerto Rico was that island’s only official countermark and was created after a decree on November 27, 1884, by the Governor, General Luis Dabán, preventing the importation of more holed coins to Puerto Rico, the countermark being the official device to prove certain coins were on the island before the decree, which naturally prompted fake countermarks to be made as well. This example shows a full, genuine countermark (Dávila’s Type IV), the coin well toned and heavily worn but with bold date, with an enlarged hole at top from wearing on a key chain (unfortunately obliterating the mintmark, if there was one), very rare to be found in dollar size and the first fully authenticated example we have seen or heard of on a Morgan dollar (others are all seated Liberty or earlier). Amazingly this coin has resided in the same Puerto Rican family from its creation until now. Sra. Montserrate Hernández Ramírez, born in 1883 in Maricao, Puerto Rico, received this coin as a gift from her father, Ruperto Hernández, and left it to her son, Dr. Luis Amorós, when she died in 1958. Dr. Amorós died in 1965, and his widow, Hilda Alvarez, kept the coin and eventually passed it on to her son, Luis Alwin Amorós, Esq., from whom it was recently acquired and subsequently consigned to our auction. A very important piece for all US collectors, not just in Puerto Rico, and especially desirable for its fully documented pedigree and authentication. With letter from expert numismatist Dr. Ovidio Dávila Dávila (author of Estudio Numismático de las Primeras Monedas de Puerto Rico: Los Resellos de “flor de lis” de 1885 [2012]) certifying the authenticity of the coin and countermark. PCGS #42910152. Estimate: $5,000-up.

The J.O.B. Collection of Seville 8 Escudos

1251. Seville, Spain, cob 8 escudos, Philip IV, assayer R, distinctive Austrian fesse in shield (1634-37), NGC MS 64 (“top pop”), ex-J.O.B., Calicó Onza plate. Cal-Type 406; KM-112. 26.90 grams. In addition to having an incredibly deep, bold and well-detailed

full shield and cross, characteristic of its exceptional grade, this piece has the distinction of displaying a special six-square rectangle for Austria in the shield, in fact matching coins with clear dates 1634 and 1637 only (no examples of 1635 or 1636 are known), also with deep red toning over die-rust in crevices, bold full denomination VIII, peripheries flat and/or crude (as made) but with much of king’s name visible in addition to most of crown, tied with one other for finest in NGC census. Pedigreed to the J.O.B. Collection and Plate Coin #66 in Calicó’s La Onza (2004), both stated on label, also Plate Coin #66 in Tauler’s Oro Macuquino (2011), with collector’s tag. NGC #5960428-001.

Cal-1967; KM-112. 26.73 grams. If ever a case could be made for the existence of Royals (galanos) from the Seville mint, this coin would be the one and only candidate, as it is so round and completely detailed, with all legends and crown and inner details full and bold and lightly red-toned, as to surpass the manifest quality of any other cob 8 escudos from that mint, its luster and complete lack of wear (ignoring a few old marks in the upper-right quadrant of the reverse hidden in the toning) reflected in its NGC grade, truly the loveliest example the world has ever seen (among a reported population of just four known) and a numismatic prize beyond compare, with virtually limitless value in today’s market, its many appearances in references a testament to its singular beauty. Pedigreed to the J.O.B. Collection and Plate Coin #74 in Calicó’s La Onza (2004), both stated on label, also Plate Coin on page 196 of Calicó’s 2008 edition of Numismática española and Plate Coin #74 in Tauler’s Oro Macuquino (2011), with collector’s tag.

1253. Seville, Spain, gold cob 8 escudos, Philip IV, 1663 (R), NGC AU 55, finest and only example in NGC census, exJ.O.B., ex-Caballero de Indias, Calicó La Onza plate. Cal-1986; KM-145. 26.80 grams. Technically considered a different type from the previous two lots as the ornaments in the quadrants of the cross are actual fleurs instead of clusters of squares, also much cruder with doubling and flatness, the shield and cross nevertheless full and also with choice full crown and denomination VIII, weaker mintmark (assayer not visible) to left, but best part is the full date with very bold final digit, with traces of light sediment in crevices, also well pedigreed. Pedigreed to the J.O.B. Collection (stated on label) and to the Caballero de Indias collection (Aureo auction of October 2009, lot 1910), and Plate Coin #95 in Calicó’s La Onza (2004), also Plate Coin #95 in Tauler’s Oro Macuquino (2011), with collector’s tag.

half (just one castle and lion), also full cross-and-tressure, mostly flat peripheries (hence no visible mintmark, assayer nor denomination) except for a bold full 68 of the date, the final digit made from punching a second 0 below an existing 0 on a 1660-dated reverse die, confirmed by the presence of -PVS of Philip’s name in the obverse legend (also a die-match with known 1660 coins showing assayer A/C on obverse), more likely an oversight than an intentionally posthumous issue, the boldness of the central strike enhanced by dark encrustation in crevices.

Pedigreed to the J.O.B. Collection (stated on label) and to the Isaac Rudman Collection, Plate Coin #151a in Tauler’s Oro Macuquino (2011), with collector’s tag. NGC #5960428-004. Estimate: $6,000-$9,000.

Nicely round flan with full but partially weak shield and cross, the latter with very bold complete tressure, outside of which is a clear date with full 16 and most of 89 (the overdate weak but certain), the obverse with interesting upwardreading denomination with small V at bottom and what looks like an aqueduct-mintmark punch (for Segovia) for the III, all crammed inside the king’s name, the mintmark S to left barely visible above a non-visible assayer M, light sediment in crevices for contrast. Pedigreed to the J.O.B. Collection (stated on label) and Plate Coin #178b in Tauler’s Oro Macuquino (2011), with collector’s tag. NGC #5960428-005. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

Light yellow gold with choice full shield and full but off-center cross below very bold and 100% full date with obvious overdate, clear assayer M to left above king’s ordinal II, stable interior flan-cracks (as made), with nice luster and in fact tied with next lot for finest in NGC census. Pedigreed to the J.O.B. Collection and Plate Coin #191 in Calicó’s La Onza (2004), both stated on label, with collector’s tag. NGC #5960428-007. Estimate: $8,000-$12,000.

plate. Cal-1060; KM-233.1. 27.01 grams. Smooth and lustrous fields with full and bold details except for weak area near edge at 9 o’clock / 3 o’clock that nevertheless still shows enough of the bottom of a T to recognize it’s GRAT and not GRAC, second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 63.

Gold / Ferdinand-Isabel

1276. Segovia, Spain, gold 4 excelentes, Ferdinand-Isabel, mintmark at top, denomination o-iiii at bottom between busts, Gothic A behind Queen, earliest type with all Gothic legends, rare, NGC AU 50, ex-Huntington. Cal-770; Cayón-2954; Fr-125. Broad flan with 100% full details, no doubling, no problems, the surfaces clean and natural with a hint of light toning, really very attractive in every regard: visually, historically and for its important pedigree to the Archer M. Huntington Collection of Coins from the Hispanic World, one of the finest and most ambitious collections ever assembled, within which this piece was part of a spectacular denomination set that included the massive and excessively rare 50 excelentes. The present 4 excelentes is a choice example of a very rare denomination, with exceptional eye appeal, especially in the well-detailed portraits of the king and queen facing each other. The design of these “excelente” coins was continued after the death of Queen Isabel, in fact well into the joint reign of her daughter, Joanna, and grandson, Charles, but examples with fully Gothic legends like this one can be considered lifetime issues, and as such they are an indelible memento of the legacy of the “Catholic” rulers, so called for their crusade to enforce their religion, starting in the same year of Columbus’ first voyage to the New World, 1492. It will be exciting to watch this trophy find its new home in another great collection. Pedigreed to the Archer M. Huntington Collection (stated on label). NGC #5969929-001. Estimate: $30,000-up.

1277. Seville, Spain, gold 2 excelentes, Ferdinand-Isabel, eight-point star at top and mintmark S with four dots at bottom between busts, NGC AU 50.

Cal-721; Cayón-2933; Fr-129. Mostly lustrous, with full (Gothic) legends and full but partially weak inner details including a bold eight-point star and mintmark, the portrait of the queen to left particularly sharp, somewhat flat on the king, also flat on the eagle on the reverse in the same spot, interesting in that the X of REX at the top of the legend looks like the Hebrew letter “aleph.” NGC # 6205479-001. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Gold / Philip III 1278. Segovia, Spain, gold milled 1 escudo, Philip III, 1607 C, NGC MS 66 (“top pop”). Cal-1015; KM-29. Sharp strike with all elements bold and totally devoid of marks or wear, light yellow gold with muted luster due to rusted-die fields but still an exceptional grade, tied with one other for finest in NGC census, second variety with king’s name as PHILIP followed by a comma, desirable as the first milled gold of Spain. NGC #4931692-012. Estimate: $7,000-$10,000.

Gold / Charles II

1279. Segovia, Spain, gold milled 4 escudos, Charles II, 1687/3 BR, very rare. Cal-951; KM-unl (185.2 for type). 13.48 grams. The milled gold coins of the Segovia mint are all special coins, typically made to order in just certain dates, and in the case of Charles II 4 escudos we only know of the dates 1683 and 1687 (hence KM listings for 1686 and 1687/6 are probably in error). Also we note that references say this issue lacks a Portuguese escutcheon, but it is there, just faintly hidden by the rest of the details in the upper half of the shield. This beautiful coin exhibits a typically choice strike on a broad flan (beyond the design) with smooth fields, muted luster and very light toning, well preserved save for a few light marks and light filing on top edge, a very rare and popular type. Pedigreed to the Conde de Lacambra Collection and the Golf Collection, also pedigreed to the Aureo auction of March 2019 (lot 214), purchased from Xavier Calicó by private treaty in 1970. Estimate: $15,000-$22,500.

Gold / Philip V 1280. Seville, Spain, gold milled 8 escudos, Philip V, 1704 P, NGC VF details / obverse damage. Cal-2271; KM-260. 26.86 grams.

Full details (the reverse struck off-center), with very light toning over rich-colored gold, with small punch-mark and scratch toward right side on obverse. NGC #5965633-008. Estimate: $3,500-$5,000.

268

1281. Seville, Spain, gold milled 2 escudos, Philip V, 1717 M, NGC AU 58, finest and only example in NGC census. Cal-1977; KM-293. Light yellow gold, off-center strike but boldly struck and choice in grade (light high-point wear only), muted luster all over, very scarce type that is rarely found without problems. NGC #4916896-004. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Gold / Ferdinand VI 1282. Seville, Spain, gold bust 1/2 escudo, Ferdinand VI (second bust), 1747 PJ, NGC MS 63,

finest known in NGC census. Cal-570; KM-373. Exceptional grade with brilliant luster and fully detailed strike and rims, just a few faint surface hairlines in reverse fields. NGC #4221221-005. Estimate: $600-$900.

1283. Seville, Spain, gold bust 1/2 escudo, Ferdinand VI (fourth bust), 1756 PJ, stars in legend,

NGC MS 63, finest known in NGC census. Cal-582 var; KM-374. Bright luster and choice strike, including

rims, with only faint surface hairlines. There is some confusion behind the varieties for this date, as Calicó lists only “puntos” (dots) for the legend for this bust (NGC and KM do not distinguish the different busts), while NGC shows both “stars” and “rosettes” in the census, which we suspect are the same thing, as this coin shows that the “stars” are actually small, five-point flowers. NGC #2062508-004. Estimate: $600-$900.

Gold / Charles III

1284. Madrid, Spain, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1776 PJ, NGC AU 58, finest and only example in NGC census.

Cal-1962; KM-409.1. Scarce key date (also popular for US collectors), choice strike and luster (especially the reverse) with traces of toning near rims, faint surface hairlines in obverse fields. NGC #5943929-004. Estimate: $4,000-$6,000.

1285. Seville, Spain, gold bust 4 escudos, Charles III, 1776 CF, NGC AU

58 (“top pop”). Cal-1889; KM-418.2. Light yellow gold, good luster, obverse fields lightly cleaned, popular date for US collectors, tied with two others for finest in NGC census.

1315. Segovia, Spain, 50 reales (cincuentin), Philip III, 1620, assayer cross-topped A (Estéban de Pedrera), struck for the Count of Chinchón (later Viceroy of Peru), NGC XF 40, finest and only example in the NGC census. Cal-1003; Cayón-4962; KM-

The concept of a massive silver coin of 50 reales, known as a cincuentin, began under Philip III, starting in 1609, whereby wealthy aristocrats could advertise their importance with unique coins struck from their own silver brought to the mint under special authorization. Research from Glenn Murray has shown that in the year 1620 two individuals were authorized to have these pieces made: 50 for the 4th Count of Chinchón (Luis Jerónimo Fernández de Cabrera y Bobadilla, 1589-1647, hereditary Treasurer of the Segovia mint and Viceroy of Peru from 1629 to 1639) and 50 for Don Pedro Mesía de Tovar y Velázquez (1562-1637, granted the title of 1st Count of Molina de Herrera

by Philip IV in 1627). These immense pieces (coins only in the sense that they were denominated and struck in coin designs, but of course were not practical for actual commerce) were made by machine using roller dies (rodillos) generally in quantities too small to wear out the die.

For that reason, all of the known examples struck in 1617, 1618 and 1620 come from the same obverse die (easily determined by a progressive die-crack from the top right of the crown to the edge), with different reverse dies, depending on the year. The date on this specimen shows a 2/1 for the penultimate digit, and NGC calls the date 1620/10, but the reverse does not match any 1610 dies known to us. (Also it cannot be 1620/19 because documents confirm that no dies or strikings were authorized in 1619.) For the date 1620 there are actually two known reverses, this one regarded as being the first one made, presumably for the first set of 50 coins for the Count of Chinchón, and this die was re-engraved and used in 1622 as well. The second 1620 reverse (without any evidence of 2/1), was presumably for Don Pedro Mesía’s production, and was re-engraved and used in 1623 (see the unprecedented offering of thirteen cincuentines in the Cayón auction of April 2015 for an example). The present piece, like all cincuentines, is a marvel of 17th century manufacture, as all details are evenly struck and well centered on a thick flan with varying degrees of outer border visible, and it is deeply toned over muted luster, with only light wear and marks, a few rim-bumps but nothing abusive, and significantly lacking any major flaws like other known examples. This piece is also particularly rare as among only fourteen examples across eleven dates/varieties to be straight-graded by NGC, which is to say it is undamaged and therefore well taken care of over its 400 years of life so far. By definition, it is a coin made for nobility, yet today it can be owned by anyone with the right amount of money and desire. NGC #6205430-001. Estimate: $30,000-up.

65. 170.06 grams.

275

1316. Seville, Spain, cob 8 reales Philip III, 1620 G. Cal-977; KM-54. 27.28 grams. Full shield and cross-lions-castles, the former with full S•G• to left and vertical denomination VIII to right and the latter with clear bottom half of four-digit date 1620 above, peripheries flat, XF with traces of luster in crevices of cross, lightly toned. Estimate: $350-$500.

1317. Valladolid, Spain, cob 4 reales, 1613/2 H, very rare, NGC AU 53, finest known in NGC census. Cal-unl (Type 158); KM-unl (36.4 for type). 13.69 grams. Nearly full crowned shield (doubled)

and cross-lions-castles, the former with full and bold mintmark (four wavy lines) to left above weak but certain assayer H, the latter with most of 3 and curved left edge of 1 of date and faint remains of a Z (2) under the 3, an overdate that is listed for assayer F but not for assayer H (1611-12, which is what NGC calls it), hence probably a muling of a 1612 H obverse with a modified reverse, lightly toned and somewhat weak in places but not overly circulated. NGC #4930644-003.

Estimate: $400-$600.

Philip V 1318. Seville, Spain, milled 1 real, Philip V, 1721 J, NGC MS 64.

Nice luster with light steel-gray toning, choice strike except for a small void in the shield (as made), oversized flan that extends beyond the outer borders, second highest grade in NGC census. NGC #5955325-004.

Estimate: $200-$300.

Cal-645; KM-306.2.

1319. Madrid, Spain, milled 1 real, Philip V, 1726 A, NGC MS 66. Cal-436; KM-298. A prooflike gem with pure mirrored brilliance (amazing to see on a coin on this period), roller-struck on a slightly curved and oversized flan that extends past the outer border (reverse off-center), with small natural lacuna to right of cross and smaller flan-void near top. NGC #3923066-031. Estimate: $800-$1,200.

Alfonso XII 1320. Madrid, Spain, 1 peseta, Alfonso XII, 1884/3 MS-M, with 18-84 inside six-point

stars, rare, NGC AU details / cleaned. Cal-22; KM-686. Bold strike with deep rainbow toning over luster and faint hairlines, traces of die-cracks near bottom on obverse, rare issue of only 5,839 coins.

NGC #6268663-008. Estimate: $300-$450.

Switzerland 1321. Zurich, Swiss Cantons, 40 batzen, 1813 B, NGC MS

64.

KM-190. Bright luster coated with amazingly iridescent toning, ranging from deep aquamarine to scarlet, gives this coin monstrous eye-appeal, in addition to its exceptional grade (second highest in NGC census). NGC #3638057-004. Estimate: $500-$750.

276

Tortola (British Virgin Islands)

1322. Tortola, 4 shillings 1-1/2 pence, countermark TORTOLA inside contoured rectangular indent (Type I, 1801) on a 1/2 cut of a Potosí, Bolivia, bust 8 reales, Charles III, 1778 PR, rare, NGC VG 10, C/S VF standard. Prid-1; KM-7. 13.04 grams.

A very handsome survivor from Tortola’s first issue, made from countermarking a bust 8 reales (in this case from Potosí, with full mintmarkdenomination-assayer visible on reverse and 78 of 1778 date on obverse) with TORTOLA in neat letters within a box reading vertically upward to right of center where the host coin was cut in half vertically (typically curved), all richly toned and the countermarked deeply recessed, a rare and desirable issue no matter the grade but even rarer as undamaged and numerically gradable, in fact tied with four others for second finest in NGC census behind a single Fine. NGC #6272344-015. Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

Tunisia

1323. Tunisia (Ottoman Empire), six-piece proof set of copper 8-4-2-1-1/2-1/4 kharub, Abdul Aziz and Muhammad al-Sadiq Bey, AH1281 (1864), Heaton mint, NGC PF 63 to 65 RB, ex-Briand. KM-153, 154, 155, 156, 158, 159. An impressive proof set with all coins very similar in quality, luster, and color—a feat that couldn’t easily be replicated individually these days, as the three highest denominations are quite rare, grades as follows: 8 kharub—PF 65 RB (“top pop,” tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census); 4 kharub—PF 65 RB (“top pop,” tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census); 2 kharub—PF 64 RB (“top pop,” tied with two others for finest known in the NGC census); 1 kharub—PF 63 RB; 1/2 kharub—PF 65 RB; 1/4 kharub—PF 63 RB. Pedigreed to the F.P. Briand collection (Heritage auction of 2016, lot 31665). NGC #4251638-001, -002, -003, -004, -005, and -006. Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Slightly off-center pillars and cross, thereby enabling some interesting peripheral elements to be visible (flowers and dots), lustrous with spots of dark toning. NGC #2851549-008. Estimate: $600-$900.

1326. Caracas, Venezuela, “imitation cob” 2 reales, date “471” (early 1800s), NGC VF 35. Cal-749; KM-C13.1; Stohr-9. 4.80 grams. A bit irregular in shape but with bold details set off by very

light toning on satin-smooth fields. NGC #2851549-009. Estimate: $500-$750.

1324. Uruguay (struck at the Santiago Mint), three-coin set of 1000 pesos in various metals, 1969, FAO commemoratives, all finest known or “top pop” in NGC census: gold, NGC PF 68 Ultra Cameo; silver, NGC PF 67 Ultra Cameo; bronze, NGC MS 65 BN. KM-55, 55a, 55b. 87.85 grams total. Well-matched set

Venezuela (Caracas royalist)

of three identical low-mintage proofs in gold, silver and copper, the first two brightly lustrous and the third with lovely violet-gold toning, the gold and copper finest known in the NGC census and the silver tied with one other for that honor. NGC #5965226-003, -004, -002.

Estimate: $2,000-$3,000.

1327. Caracas, Venezuela, 4 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1820 BS,

proper quadrants, rare, NGC VF details / holed. Cal-1028; KM-

C7.2; Stohr-12. Attractively toned, with full details and some outer border,

typically holed at bottom (medal alignment), desirable as the largest denomination struck in Caracas during the struggle for independence.

NGC #4332661-012 Estimate: $700-$1,000.

278

1328. Caracas, Venezuela, 2 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1817 BS, 1329. Caracas, Venezuela, 2 reales, Ferdinand VII, 1819/8 transposed quadrants, NGC VF details / cleaned. Cal-728; KM-

BS, transposed quadrants, NGC AU details / graffiti. Cal-731;

C6.1; Stohr-11.

KM-C6.1; Stohr-11. 5.29 grams. Choice grade with sharp full details and satin-smooth surfaces harboring faint luster under light rainbow toning, slightly off-center strike, several deliberate scratches including an X below the cross. NGC #5961966-003. Estimate: $250-$375.

Very sharp full details with very light toning on fields, slightly off-center strike, light marks and minor surface porosity. NGC #4332661-004 Estimate: $700-$1,000.

Venezuela (under Gran Colombia) 1330. Caracas, Venezuela (under Gran Colombia), 1/4 real, 1821, dot between 1 and 9, eight long rays and sixteen short rays, very rare. Restrepo-143.1; KM-C31; Stohr-13b. 0.60 gram. The first silver 1/4 real of Venezuela is a famous rarity, and

this is an excellent example with bold full details and smooth surfaces (not pitted or uneven like most), also well centered and nicely toned (albeit with evidence of cleaning), curiously missing some of the “teeth” in the borders. XRF test indicates 80% silver. Pedigreed to the Gran Colombia collection and to the Fred Badler collection and to the Miguel Santana collection. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

Venezuela (Republic) 1331. Venezuela (struck at the Paris Mint), gold 5 venezolanos, 1875-A, NGC AU 55.

1332. Venezuela, 2 bolivares, 1887, NGC MS 63 PL, finest known in NGC census. KM-Y23. This lovely piece appears to be some kind of specimen strike, as the fields are brightly lustrous and show strong vertical die-polish, while the details are sharp and frosty (hence the prooflike designation) and the rims are high and sharp, traces of spotty toning, not just the finest known for this date-variety at NGC but the only one in PL. NGC #5969256-001. Estimate: $5,000-up.

1334. Venezuela, copper essai 1 centavo, 1863-E, NGC SP 65 1333. Venezuela, copper essai 2 centavos, 1863-E, NGC SP BN (“top pop”). KM-E1. Dark brass base with tinge of rainbow colors 62 BN.

Yemen

1335. Yemen, gold riyal, al-Nasir Ahmad bin Yahya (Imam Ahmad), AH1378 (1959), NGC MS 63, finest known in NGC census. KM-YG17.2; Fr-8. A large and interesting coin apparently (by weight) struck in the equivalent of four British sovereigns (normally seen with an incuse Arabic 4 punched above the sword handles, but not in this case) using dies for the silver Ahmadi riyal, also with evidence of having been struck over another coin (the undercoin details too faint for us to attribute, possibly just a rotated double-strike), lustrous and close to pristine despite some surface roughness (as made) and tiny marks, the finer of just two in the current NGC census. Pedigreed to the Stack’s Bowers auction of January 2018 (lot 21422) and to the Heritage auction of August 2017 (lot 30494). NGC #4445782-014. Estimate: $5,000-$7,500.

1336. Yemen, gold 1/2 riyal, al-Nasir Ahmad bin Yahya (Imam Ahmad), AH1371 (1952), NGC MS 66, finest known in NGC census. KM-YG16.1; Fr-9. Brilliantly lustrous in light yellow gold, the fields slightly rough (as made) but all details sharp and lacking any wear or marks, with incuse Arabic 2 punched above the sword handles to denote equivalence to two British sovereigns, the finer of just two in the current NGC census. Pedigreed to the Heritage auction of April 2015 (lot 30721). NGC #3812921-012. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

1338. Chile, massive bronze medal, dated 1884 (made in 1885), Peace with Peru and Bolivia (after the War of the Pacific),

by Louis-Alexandre Bottée, rare. 510 grams; 100 mm. Obverse with allegorical scene of Chile seated, receiving tribute from Peru and Bolivia who kneel before her, images of industry and commerce around, four-line legend in exergue CHILE / EN PAZ CON EL / PERU I BOLIVIA / 1884, signed at top in small letters MONNEHAY & GODARD GRAVEURS / PARIS (at left) and LOUIS BOTTEE SCULPTEUR (at right); reverse with victorious Chilean condor and Victory figures above defeated Peru and Bolivia under legend CHILE EN GUERRA CONTRA EL PERU I BOLIVIA, with repeated signatures of engraver and manufacturer, tablet in exergue at bottom naming all the battles and dates 1879 and 1884; edge incuse-lettered EJECUTADA POR ORDEN DE FCO ECHAURREN EN 1885 and stamped with CUIVRE [copper].

281

Colombia (Republic)

1339. Colombia (Venezuela), large silver medal, dated 1828 (struck 1829), Bolívar saved from assassination, rare, NGC AU 55, ex-Prieto. Urdaneta Braschi-I.A.12. Approx 43 grams and 43mm. Obverse with right-facing bust of Bolívar above a pedestal; reverse with all-seeing eye in radiant pyramid above L.D.P. / SALVÓ LA VIDA / DEL LIBERTADOR / SIMÓN BOLÍVAR / LA NOCHA DEL 25. DE

SEP. / DE 1828. A rare and important medal, reportedly two of which were made in gold and originally ten in silver but probably ten to fifteen more exist, most cleaned or damaged, hence this straight-graded AU example (with nice toning, a few minor marks and flaws including a small dig to the right of NOCHE) is very rare. Until recently, this famous medal (nicknamed “septembrina” because the assassination attempt was in September) was thought to have been made in Venezuela (as the NGC label states), but a presentation in 2019 by Carlos Bacalao at the museum La Quinta San Pedro Alejandrino in Bogotá revealed that it was actually made in Colombia, and its dies are housed in the Museo Nacional de Bogotá. Also, as a series of soon-to-be published articles will show, the meaning of L.D.P. has been linked to a Masonic lodge (note the all-seeing eye in radiant pyramid) instead of standing for “La Divina Providencia” or Bolívar’s aide, L.D. Palacios. Pedigreed to the Tomas Prieto collection (Aureo & Calicó auction of April 2021, with lot-tag 265), with original box. NGC #6272343-003. Estimate: $3,000-$4,500.

Cuba (under Spain) 1340. Cuba (under Spain), brass medal, Amadeo I, 1872, inauguration of the Burriel aqueduct at Matanzas, by Crones.

DE ESPA at bottom. Nice AU with original brass color and luster, just a few light marks and a faint rimbruise, couple tiny spots of toning. Estimate: $200-$300.

Handsomely preserved, with no chipping of the enamel and only light fraying near the top of the attached ribbon (blue). Revolutionary hero Carlos Manuel de Céspedes del Castillo is known as the “Father of the Fatherland” for his role in Cuba’s fight for independence from Spain starting with the “Ten Years War” in 1868. Estimate: $300-$450.

R&S-Cu61a. 44.44 grams; 44mm.

My Journey Collecting Admiral Vernon Medals

by John Adams After a dozen years of very active collecting, I sold my U.S. large cents through Bowers and Merena in 1982. Ted Craige, an engineer by day and a voracious medal collector in his spare time, had just died. John Ford knew Craige’s widow, Miriam, and he knew me, so he put the two of us together. John then compiled a ten-page inventory of Ted’s collection and put on his best sales job. Best or not, it was good enough to launch me into the world of “Betts” medals, so called because C. Wyllys Betts wrote the definitive book on the subject.

Of the 623 medals described by Betts, no less than 167 of them are Admiral Vernon medals. Indeed, the Vernon chapter is the largest single section of the book. So compelling has the subject proved over the years that no less than fifteen serious authors have been drawn to it, this list including such numismatic luminaries as William Sumner Appleton, Malcolm Storer, Alejandro Rosa, J. T. Medina, the Earl of Sandwich and Jorge Ferrari. Alert readers will note the mix of both English and Latin authors: Admiral Vernon medals have the unusual distinction of attracting intense interest in both hemispheres.

I fell victim to the same siren song as did the “luminaries,” with the bug biting me perhaps the hardest of all. After my purchase from Ted Craige’s widow, I moved swiftly to purchase the entire collections of Leonard Finn, Dr. Paul Patterson and an anonymous Canadian. To anyone vigorously pursuing the Vernon medals, the lodestar is the collection of the British Museum, put together by Edward Hawkins, Admiral Lord Milford Haven, and sundry contributors over several centuries. Today, the BM’s vast collection numbers 241 distinct Admiral Vernon varieties. I blush to say that my collection totals 248 varieties, a number that may never be surpassed.

Speaking of “both hemispheres,” it was in the process of writing Medallic Portraits that I came across a gentleman from Argentina, Fernando Chao. In speaking of Fernando, let me emphasize the word “gentleman,” being a person not only with good table manners but also sensitive at all times to the wants and feelings of those around him. Having Fernando as a house guest for two weeks, I can say from experience that he was a gentleman from the moment he got up in the morning until bidding us a warm “good night” before trundling off to bed.

Beneath this veneer of politesse there dwelt a warm human being with a keen mind. With the exception of the sport of soccer, which Fernando detested despite being from Argentina, he could talk intelligently on a wide range of subjects. In his company, the conversation never lagged, nor was it ever dull in the least.

My strong relationship with Fernando exemplifies how Admiral Vernon medals have been collected ardently in both hemispheres from at least the 19th century on. The medals served as the tie that bound us in friendship. Fernando had long since sold his collection, but I was able to track it down and purchase it from a dealer in Spain. This put a glorious seal on our relationship: I did not have Fernando by my side, but I did have in my possession the medals which had meant so much to him.

Fernando passed away this January, a victim of COVID-19, and it made me think: Collecting is a mundane activity whereas true friendships are sublime. Fernando’s passing had no effect on my collection, other than to make it seem trivial when weighed against the worth of a great man.

Two years ago, I had little thought of parting with my beloved Vernon medals. I was willing to dispense with duplicates and, as I was contemplating this possibility, along came Dan Sedwick to give me a hand. His providential arrival was rewarded with a series of consignments which he handled with great skill and energy. Now it is time for him to ferry my main collection across the River Styx.

Note: New XRF technology allows us give exact percentages of metallic content, as opposed to the old method of measuring specific gravity, which cannot discriminate the amount of each metal in the mix. Each of the listings to follow states percentages of metals from XRF testing (only those above 1%, no trace elements), accompanied by a full readout on a small tag. Since these readings are taken from the center of one side of each medal, and most likely other locations would give slightly different results, these numbers should not be taken as absolutes so much as a general idea of the alloys. The great majority are copper-zinc, but there are some surprises. We hope this information will facilitate future analysis of specific methods and location of manufacture.

Great Britain

The John Adams Collection of Admiral Vernon Medals

1344. Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, Vernon and Brown / Satan and Walpole (ca. 1739), ex-Adams, ex-Craige. AC-NLv8G. 35 mm, 9.65 grams. Choice AU+ with hint of luster and original brassy color on fields, very sharp details. AC: “Clearly more a political piece than a historical medal, contrasting the noble heroes on one side with the evil-doing Walpole on the other.” The NO EXCISE statement in the exergue on reverse refers to an import tax proposed by Walpole in 1733 that was defeated but then brought up again in 1739, when these Vernon medals were made. Walpole is generally considered the first de facto Prime Minister of Great Britain.

XRF: 50.94% copper, 47.37% zinc, 1.30% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag) and to the Ted Craige Collection. Estimate: $500-$750.

1346. Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, arms / Porto Bello, 1739, ex-Adams, ex-Chao, ex-Ferrari.

AC-PB2D. 38 mm, 14.73 grams. AU- with much luster and brassy color, engraver’s initials I.W. in exergue, well struck and sharply detailed all over. The obverse design of the British coat of arms is of an unusually fine style for these medals, albeit with Asian-looking lion, and both lion and unicorn in an apparent state of arousal, hence most likely satirical. XRF: 50.18% copper, 48.28% zinc, 1.19% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag), the Fernando Chao Collection and the Jorge Ferrari Collection. Estimate: $300-$450.

1347. Great Britain, small copper alloy Admiral Vernon

medal, Vernon / Porto Bello, 1739, ex-Adams, ex-Chao, ex-Ferrari. AC-PBv3C. 25 mm, 6.00 grams. Very dark, with only slight

1345. Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, Duke of Argyll / Satan and Walpole (ca. 1739), ex-Adams, ex-Chao, ex-Ferrari. AC-NLa1A. 35 mm, 13.92 grams. AU with nice,

brassy luster on fields and around the sharp details (see previous lot for notes about this Walpole issue, with the addition of the Duke of Argyll, who supported Vernon’s campaign against the Spanish in the Caribbean). XRF: 50.44% copper, 47.80% zinc, 1.43% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag), the Fernando Chao Collection and the Jorge Ferrari Collection. Estimate: $350-$500.

traces of original brassy color, but technically AU or better and bold in strike, scarce. AC asserts the crudeness of the portrait and the relatively artistic reverse indicate the work of two different artisans. XRF: 50.33% copper, 47.74% zinc, 1.54% lead Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag), the Fernando Chao Collection and the Jorge Ferrari Collection. Estimate: $300-$450.

1348. Great Britain, copper alloy Admiral Vernon medal, Vernon / Porto Bello, 1739, ex-Adams (Plate), ex-Finn. AC-

PBv7E. 39 mm, 15.05 grams. XF, mostly dark but with trace of lighter original color, early die-buckling, Vernon’s nose typically flat. XRF: 49.98% copper, 48.38% zinc, 1.27% lead. Pedigreed to the John Adams Collection (with his handwritten tag) and the Leonard Finn Collection, plated on page 55 of Medallic Portraits of Admiral Vernon (2010), by Adams and Chao. Estimate: $200-$300.

285

1450. South Carolina, $30, Feb. 14, 1777, serial 1160, PMG and margins, the upper signature of J. Wakefield is correct for the type Choice VF 35. Fr-SC-144. Highest denomination from this issuance

of just two values, $30 and $20 (see following lot). The circular vignette is of a man walking with a cane in his hand and pack on his back encircled by the Latin motto MISERA SERVITUS OMNIS “All Slavery is Wretched.” Strongly printed front plus clear serial number and three signatures while the perpendicular fourth signature is light as is typical, the border along the back is weakly inked yet the center text is boldly embossed, a few small pinholes towards the right side, quite scarce in any form. Pedigreed to the Heritage Currency Auctions of America FUN sale of Jan. 8-10, 2004 with lot tag #16588. PMG #2021537-001. Estimate: $300-$450.

Continental Currency

1451. South Carolina, $20, Feb. 14, 1777, serial 2744, PMG AU 50. Fr-SC-143. Exceedingly rare in this high of a grade and surpassing even that of the Eric P. Newman piece which was graded PCGS XF 40. The circular vignette is of a bird flying free from its cage with the Latin motto IBI PATRIA UBI LIBERTAS “Here in our country is where freedom is.” Clear, well inked design on both sides and especially sharp edges, with a light center fold being the only indicator of circulation. Of the 19 examples listed on the PMG census, this note is tied with just one other for second finest known behind a sole AU 50 EPQ; in fact, the vast majority seen were mid to low VF—indicative of the southern colonies tendency to circulate notes often and thus leading to few high grade survivors like this note. Pedigreed to the Early American History Auctions sale of Oct. 13, 2001 with lot tag #956. PMG #2021537-002. Estimate: $500-$750.

Well executed printing with excellent margins and bold inking plus strong embossing seen throughout the text, choice paper quality throughout.

World Paper Money Argentina 1456. Buenos Aires, Argentina, Banco de Buenos Ayres, 1 peso remainder, no date (1827-29), Bolívar & Washington portraits, PMG XF 40. SCWPM-S328r. Ever-popular note printed by

Fairman, Draper, Underwood & Co. featuring the portraits of Simón Bolívar and George Washington on either side. Bolívar was called the “Washington of South America” in his time and although the two historical figures never met, Bolívar had a connection to Washington’s family though correspondence with Washington’s ally, the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1825, Washington’s family gifted Bolívar a medallion featuring the portrait of the late president and a lock of his hair. This note, though a remainder, exhibits some handling yet faces up much nicer than the numerical grade suggests with choice original paper, bold printing, and good margins. PMG #8078235-006. Estimate: $500-$750.

SCWPM-S126a; CHPM-11730.

The highest denomination issued from the state treasury of Bolívar and extremely rare as an issued note. This Hamilton Bank Note Company produced note features vignettes of a seated Justice figure at left and a train at its station in the center. It should be noted that the train vignette, called “Waiting for the Signal,” was not exclusive to this note and the placard BOLIVAR on the side of the train was added afterwards to tie this unrelated vignette to the location it was expected to circulate in. VF with pinholes in the upper corners and small hole at center, small edge-nick in left margin, minor stains, nice original and bold ink colors on both sides, very difficult in any form due to redemption of this high value note. Estimate: $1,000-$1,500.

The American Bank Note Company had strict quality control measures and yet here is a note with an issuance date 1,000 years into the future from when it was printed! Beautiful large-size note with modest circulation and facing up nicer than the grade suggests with sharp corners and bold ink colors. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42464172.

Estimate: $500-up.

SCWPM-178x.

1466. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 1000 colones, 17-

9-1981, serial B1975377, misaligned reverse error, PCGS VF 30. SCWPM-250. Holdered reverse side out to show off the misaligned

1467. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 1000 colones, date not visible (1986-89), serial E29350909, misaligned overprint on back error, PCGS VF 30. SCWPM-256. Two errors

occurred with this note: not only was the overprint printed on the back but it’s also widely misaligned with only one signature and the directive number 3 showing. Modestly circulated with nice paper quality.

Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465094. Estimate: $100-$150.

309

1468. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 100 colones, date not visible (1984), serial C02053844, misaligned overprint and offset error, PCGS AU 55 PPQ. SCWPM-248b. A huge

misaligned overprint error with only the presidente’s signature visible and angled at the top of the note. Rather than the label suggests, we believe the reverse overprint came from an offset printing error at the same time. Bright original paper and colorful inking with only trivial handling for the grade. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465092. Estimate: $100-$150.

1470. Lot of two San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 100

colones, 5-10-1990, serials F18110235, duplicated serial numbers error, PCGS Choice UNC 64 and Choice UNC 64.

SCWPM-254a. This major mistake at the printers resulted in two identical notes sharing the same series letter, date, and serial numbers—a pair that shouldn’t exist! And, interestingly enough, they were also graded the same Choice UNC grade. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465120 and 42465121. Estimate: $300-$450.

1469. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 100 colones,

5-10-1990, serial F18667591, printed foldover error, PCGS Gem UNC 65 PPQ, finest and only example in PCGS Banknote census. SCWPM-254a. An amazing error with right side of

the note folded over prior to the overprinting, thus placing the year and most of the two signatures on what would have been the reverse.

The foldover has been left as is in the holder to illustrate how it looked after leaving the printer. Excellent original paper quality and color as noted by the PPQ designation. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42464971.

Estimate: $200-$300.

1471. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 100 colones, 5-10-1990, serial F18085512, presidente and gerente signatures reversed error, PCGS Choice UNC 64 PPQ. SCWPM-254a.

This oddity features the signatures of the bank officials in swapped positions over their titles—a very rare and unusual error. Fully original quality with bold overprint and strong embossing. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money.

PCGS #42465074. Estimate: $150-$225.

1472. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 100 colones, 1474. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 50 colones, 19(1993), serial H19222025, missing overprint error, PCGS Choice UNC 64 PPQ. SCWPM-261a. This note completely missed

6-1991, serial E16680453, inverted overprint error, PCGS Choice UNC 63. SCWPM-257a. Flipped over overprint so the date is

the step in the printing process where the overprint was applied so the date, directive number, series, and signatures are completely missing.

Choice note in the same condition as when it left the printers. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money.

PCGS #42465132. Estimate: $100-$150.

buried in the bank’s title along the border and one of the signatures runs along Gaspar Ortuño y Ors’ forehead. Boldly embossed and colorful printing throughout. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465096. Estimate: $100-$150.

1473. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 50 colones, 28-

1475. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 20 colones, 7-4-

8-1991, serial E18002635, overprint on back error, PCGS Choice UNC 64 PPQ. SCWPM-257a. The overprint on this error note

is correctly oriented yet printed on the wrong side. Excellent paper quality and inking. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465080. Estimate: $100-$150.

1983, serial C27594866, insufficient inking error, PCGS VF 20 details. SCWPM-252a. Interesting error on the reverse where the printing plate was insufficiently inked, leading to a very weak design contrasting against a bold colored underprint. This error escaped notice for some time in circulation, some masked writing is found on the front as noted on the label. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465240.

Estimate: $100-$150.

1476. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 10 colones, 24-121981, serial D25150983, inverted overprints error, PCGS AU 55. SCWPM-237b. Like lot 1474, the overprint on this note was applied

upside down so the date is over the bank’s title while the signatures show prominently across Rodrigo Facio Brenes’ forehead. It also appears that an offset printing error at the same time rendered the full overprint in reverse on the back side of the note. Lightly handled piece with some paper toning around the edges. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42464968. Estimate: $100-$150.

311

1477. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 10 colones,

2-10-1985, serial D37407924, full overprint offset error, PCGS AU 53. SCWPM-237b. Although the overprint is correctly oriented on the front of this note, a full offset printing error created a bold mirrored overprint on the back side as well. Briefly circulated with light stains noted on the label. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465246.

Estimate: $150-$225.

1478. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 5 colones, 8-5-

1972, serial D8312151, cutting error with extra tab, PCGS AU 53 PPQ. SCWPM-236b. A fold through the uncut sheet of notes

prior to cutting gifted this note with an extra tab of paper in the upper left corner. This noticeable error led to the note being pulled from circulation shortly after being issued, resulting in light handling and protecting the original paper quality. There’s also a secondary error in the design itself—the credited painter’s name on the back is T. Villa when it should have been J. Villa; this error was corrected in 1973.

Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42464967. Estimate: $200-$300.

1479. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 5 colones,

20-3-1975, serial D14604992, with 25th anniversary seal, overprint misalignment error, PCGS VF 20. SCWPM-247. This

misaligned overprint error led to wildly misplaced signatures, date, and directive number—on a commemorative note no less! Moderately circulated with some soiling, ink colors still quite bold. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money.

PCGS #42465087. Estimate: $100-$150.

1480. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 5 colones, 4-10-

1989, serial D58874937, full overprint offset error, PCGS Gem UNC 65 PPQ. SCWPM-236d. Similar to lot 1477, the overprint

shows up mirrored on the reverse from an offset printing error. Gem quality note with a popular and colorful design. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465091. Estimate: $100-$150.

Cuba (under Spain)

1481. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 5 colones, 4-10-

1989, serial D59961553, minor overinking of overprint error, PCGS Choice UNC 63. SCWPM-236d. Overzealous inking

of the overprint plate led to obscured and thick signatures plus some distortion of the digits in the date. Nice UNC note with faint paper toning around the edges. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42465255. Estimate: $100-$150.

1482. San José, Costa Rica, Banco Central, 5 colones, 4-101989, serial D59961560, insufficient inking of overprint error, PCGS Choice UNC 63. SCWPM-236d. On the opposite end of the spectrum from the prior lot, this note has an overprint that was weakly inked so the first half of the issuance date is not visible.

Interestingly, this note’s serial number is only seven digits higher than the note in the prior lot—two opposing errors were created at roughly the same time. Strong embossing seen on this UNC note with a few areas of faint paper toning around the edges. Pedigreed to the Tamarindo Collection of Costa Rican Error Coins and Paper Money. PCGS #42464958. Estimate: $100-$150.

Many of these uncut strips have been split up into smaller groups (often five notes or fewer) or individual notes, making this strip of ten notes quite scarce. UNC sheet with small spot of toning at the top. Estimate: $200-$300.

Miscellaneous 1613. Augarten Vienna porcelain large dish with central image of a Lima, Peru, 8 escudos, 1702 H, from the 1715 Fleet, custom painted at the Hotel Arlberg Lech (Austria) in 2020. 899 grams, 9-3/4” x 6-3/4” x 2”. This fine porcelain dish in perfect condition was made by the Augarten Porzellanmanufaktur for Hotel Arlberg in Lech, Austria, where Augarten artist Izzy Stern handpainted the center with an image of a Lima 8 escudos 1702, inspired by one of the choicest examples from the 1715 Fleet, the Caballero de Yndias specimen sold in 2009 by Aureo & Calicó. Surrounded by a bay-laurel wreath, the coin image changes with different angles of light boosted by the use of real gold-leaf paint, creating a stunning one-of-a-kind numismatic homage. The Augarten Porzellanmanufaktur (Augarten Porcelain Manufactory) was established in 1923 by the famous Hungarian porcelain manufactory Herend, founded in 1826 and still operating today, specializing in luxury hand-painted and gilded pieces. Products from the Augarten facility in Vienna represent a revival of traditional methods and patterns from the original Vienna Porcelain Manufactory (1718–1864), which competed with Herend as a purveyor to the Imperial Court until it went out of business in 1864.

Porcelain from the original Vienna manufactory is often referred to as Alt Wien (“Old Vienna”) to distinguish it from the products of the new Augarten manufactory. The bottom of this custom piece shows the manufacturer name and model number 639-6770-521 as well as the name of the hotel where it was painted (Hotel Arlberg Lech) in 2020. Estimate: $600-$900.
