MEXICO. "Royal" Presentation Cob 4 Reales, 1729-Mo R. Mexico City Mint, Assayer Nicolas de Roxas (R). Philip V. PCGS Genuine--Tooled, VF Details. KM-R47 (Unlisted date); Cal-Type 138 (Unlisted date); Grove-Unlisted. Weight: 11.30 gms. The only certified example of the date and Assayer's letter on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. EXTREMELYRAREand highly desirable, this seemingly unimpressive coin offers collectors a chance to acquire an unpublished date from a series of specially prepared coinage. The obverse and reverse are in nearly perfect medal alignment struck on a round compact flan with bold full shield, denomination, mintmark and assayer's letter. While the reverse exhibits a full complete cross, lions and castles and most of the octolobe. Most of the obverse legends are off the flan with the relevant details such as the bottom of the king's ordinal and bottoms of the digits of the date. Close inspection reveals significant metal loss due to corrosion on both sides with minor encrustation in the crevasses adding a bit of character. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of the type that is certain to add depth to the next collection it enters. Estimate: $1,000 - $2,000. Provenance: From the Pat Johnson Collection.
