Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer P to right, mintmark M to left (oMo-oPo), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, very rare, NGC VF 20. Nesmith-24 for type/24a; Cal-63; S-M4; KM-unl (7 for type). 3.23 grams. A unique shield-side die-variety, Hubbard recognized this as a variety Nesmith did not have (he bought the coin well after the book was published and wrote "unpublished var." on the outside of the coin envelope), a low-contrast piece with natural surfaces, some weakness on the interiors but legends complete and technically tied for second finest in the NGC census. NGC #6448168-030. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label). Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
