Scarce early "rat nose" type with good luster but no toning due to cleaning, the bust slightly weak and grainy but the rest of the coin well struck, with very clear 6 punched over offset 6 for last digit of date, a unique and unrecorded variety that makes sense considering that most examples of this date show misaligned 6's (hence this new die was a sort of correction and establishes a die sequence), also with die-clashing evident in reverse legend.

CHILE, Santiago, ¼ real, 1817, dots flanking date, NGC MS 65 (Colección Val y Mexía Label). Cal-310; KM-73. Super depth of strike with mirror-like luster, parts of rims missing due to slightly improper centering, very lightly toned, the variety not noted on label or in the cited references but one of several for this final year of colonial issue. Pedigreed to the Val y Mexia Collection. Please use this link to verify the certification number NOTE: We present here a small group of the earliest cuartillos (¼ reales) of the newly established República de Chile. The fight for independence from Spain lasted from about 1812 until February 1817, during which the capital of Santiago changed hands several times. While its mint changed hands as well, all cuartillos up to 1816 are still considered colonial. The question is the year 1817, for which cuartillos are known with or without dots flanking the date, some high and some low. Beginning in 1792, Santiago cuartillos generally show dots, the exception being 1810 and 1811, after which all years from 1812 to 1816 have dots. In the year 1817, however, approximately 35% of the known cuartillos do NOT have dots at all. The likely explanation is that the chaos created by the revolutionary war also caused confusion and disorder at the mint. Santiago was liberated once and for all after the Battle of Chacabuco on February 12, 1817. All Spaniards holding government positions were fired, which likely also affected officials and workers at the mint (also see lot 819 for a “confused” 1 escudo 1817/6 in which the assayer letters were transposed). We may never know for sure what distinguishes a colonial 1817 cuartillo from a republican 1817 cuartillo, but the consignor of the following lots believes the cuartillos without dots are most likely the earliest emissions by the Republic. After 1817 we see cuartillas dated 1818/6 and 1818 (clean), which is the last year of the old colonial design but definitively minted by the new republican government. Some years later the cuartillas began again with a new design showing UN CUARTILLO for the years 1832/1, 1832, 1833, and 1834.

CHILE, Coquimbo, "volcano" peso, 1828 TH, fine type, very rare, NGC AU 50, ex-Vargas. KM-88. Within the already highly sought Chilean "volcano peso" series, the legendary Coquimbo peso is surely the biggest trophy, a one-year striking from a mint that never struck coins before or after this date (but located much closer than Santiago to the where the silver originated), whose limited products have found their way into only the most important Latin American collections over the centuries, including such luminous names as Salbach, Ulex, Peltzer, Newcomer, Guttag, Boyd, Pittman, Millenia, Von Schuckmann, and Lissner, not to mention also the British Museum and the Banco de Chile. Its design is fundamentally the same as the Santiago pesos, with a few minor differences, especially in the slightly earlier hand-engraved "crude type" that was rejected by Santiago mint officials. By the time a proper mintage took place in 1829, still using the date 1828, striking of the Coquimbo peso soon ceased due to the Chilean Civil War of 1829-30. Small wonder these iconic coins are so rare today, numbering no more than fifteen examples. The present piece from the Vargas Collection in Valparaiso, Chile, is a straight-grade trophy with bold full details, lots of flash, and very little wear, just some small marks and a modicum of straight and circular hairlines commensurate with a total lack of toning that will surely come with time, no doubt beautifully as is the norm for this series.

(Note: Restrepo only lists the 5/4 overdate for this assayer, which seems to be a simple omission error and not any indicator of relative rarity.).

Lustrous AU+ with slight die-buckle on obverse corresponding to a weak center on reverse, off-center strike with incomplete rims, but overall high in quality for this issue.

This is one of those rare instances in which the lowest possible numeric grade is also the finest certified grade on record (at least at NGC)! Not much central detail remains due to honest wear, with dark sediment around parts of legend and date, whose final digit 4 is surprisingly clear and evidently not an overdate as listed in Restrepo and Calicó, confirmed by the similarly clean-date examples in Eldorado and Ortiz Murias.

COLOMBIA, Medellín, gold 5 pesos, 1885/74, fineness 0.666/0.900, very rare, ex-JEAS. Restrepo-330.1; Sed-38; KM-163; Fr-105. 8.00 grams. Lightly polished XF with about one third to one half of each side lightly toned, die-crack across LEI, no major marks, a highly sought type-coin existing in very small numbers, from a three-coin issue (2, 5 and 10 pesos of 1885-6) in 0.666 fineness that barely survived. Dr. Frank Sedwick sums it best: "In the long interval between 1878 and 1913, Colombia issued no gold coins except these three matching pieces, all recut from earlier dies. No record indicates how many of these coins were minted, but the issue must have been very small. This, however, is probably not the main reason for their rarity. It was their unacceptably low gold content, the only 16-karat gold coins ever issued by any Colombian government, that destined them to the melting pots. The survival of any of these .666 pieces is a miracle, for they were coins that nobody wanted, and were issued at a time when serious collectors of Colombian coins hardly existed." We can trace only about five examples, most with problems, including the rim-filed Eldorado specimen. Pedigreed to the JEAS Collection.

JAMAICA, British Administration, gold 5 pounds, GR countermark (1758) on a Lima, Peru, bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1751 J, very rare, NGC AU details / tooled, c/s AU strong, ex-Farouk, ex-Rudman, Friedberg Plate. KM-11.4; Prid-1; Gordon-1; Fr-1. One of the biggest trophies in the field of Caribbean Cut and Countermarked coins is the Jamaican "doubloon," an iconic stamping of flowery "GR" (Georgius Rex) in the middle of each side of an early Spanish colonial "wig bust" 8 escudos, authorized by a local Act of November 18, 1758, making it the first official countermark in the British Caribbean colonies, during the height of sugar production and in the face of slave revolts and the threat of French invasion. The countermarking continued until May 1760, and hosts with dates as late as 1759 are known. In his 1965 work, Pridmore identified just three examples of the Jamaican "doubloon" without mentioning the Farouk specimen—this coin—that had just sold eleven years prior. For the Lima 1751 host specifically we know of four: the Larry Adams specimen (CNG January 2016, lot 2543); the Ray Byrne specimen (Jess Peters auction of June 1975, lot 797, which is also the Plate Coin in Gordon, KM, and the 8th edition of Friedberg); the Virgil Brand specimen (Sotheby's London, June 1985, lot 365, also plated in Pridmore and attributed as lot 680 of the Nobleman auction of 1922); and the present specimen (see pedigree below) from the celebrated collection of King Farouk of Egypt. The countermarks are full and clear, and the host is well struck, with some tooling in the fields on obverse and a minor but identifying rim-flaw below the last digit of the date. Pedigreed to the King Farouk Collection (stated on label) and the Sotheby's Cairo auction of February 1954 (lot 899), also to the Dix Noonan Webb auction of October 2012 (lot 4245) and the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet; Plate Coin on page 606 of Friedberg's 10th edition (2024) of Gold Coins of the World.

Choice full details with deep toning over acceptably light surface corrosion, desirable as an example of the brief issue (part of 1733 only) in which Mexico used an MX mintmark, even damaged examples of which bring five figures, great for any Mexican collection but also appealing as a top-quality shipwreck coin.

To date, only two other struck examples are known to exist in private collections, one of which is the Porraz specimen illustrated in Grove. Notably, Medina had to use a hand-engraved depiction borrowed from Herrera of the example permanently impounded in the Museo Arqueológico in Madrid, which indicates he had never seen an original.

KM-27.2; Gomes-unl (28 for type).

Broad flan with much legend aiding die-identification, allowing us to see the obverse matches Proctor 2R.4X while the reverse is slightly different (also missing in Plowman), hence a new discovery, also with bold full crown and shield and cross-lions-castles, the mintmark and assayer both a little weak and doubled but certain, slightly silvery but with toning in crevices. Please use this link to verify the certification number

PANAMA, Panama City, cob 1 real, Philip II, assayer oX to right, mintmark AP to left, no denomination, very rare. S-AP1; KM-unl (2 for type); Cal-unl (Type 90). 3.34 grams. Bold full AP to left and oX to right of full and well-detailed shield without any trace of a denomination I, hence an entirely new type (missing in all references, including both Proctor and Plowman), also full but doubled cross, a few parts of the legend visible, XF with very light surface oxidation, toned in crevices, one hairline edge-split.

PANAMA, Panama City, cob ½ real, Philip II, assayer oX to right, mintmark AP to left, very rare. S-AP1; KM-1; Cal-134. 1.56 grams. Broad flan with enough legend to confirm that this is an unrecorded combination with the obverse of Proctor HR.1X but a new reverse (not in Plowman either), with clear AP to left of full monogram but messy assayer to right (bold retrograde D to begin the legend on that side), full but partially weak cross with clear cross-fleury ornament at top flanked by retrograde •D to begin the legend and •R to end it, VF with light toning, odd peck-marks on obverse, and very slightly warped.

PARAGUAY, Asunción, pattern 10 reales, 1867, very rare, NGC VF 30. Pratt-M43; KM-Pn16. Somewhat lustrous, with typical flaws and marks and overall weak strike per the type, of which only about seven examples are known outside of unpublished museum collections. As posited by Brian Boosi in a recent Collectors Universe online forum (https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1106541/the-curious-case-of-the-1867-paraguay-10-reales#latest), this coin may not be a pattern after all but instead an emergency issue from a crude mint in Luque, where the capital was transferred in 1868 after Asunción fell during the War of the Triple Alliance, particularly considering that previous patterns were of much superior quality, not to mention documentary evidence that appears to give authorization to strike coins at the new and temporary capital. If true, that would make these 10 reales officially the first locally struck "crowns" of Paraguay. Please use this link to verify the certification number

PERU, Lima, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1756 JM, NGC AU 58. KM-59.1; Cal-771; Fr-20.

PERU, Lima, pillar 8 reales, Charles III, 1772 JM, dot over left mintmark only, NGC MS 60. KM-64.2; Cal-1034; Yonaka-L8.72. A choice example of Lima's scarce last date of pillars, with excellent luster and light toning toward rims, bold strike and perhaps lightly hairlined but certainly better in appearance than just MS 60, also with evidence of die-clash on pillars side, in any case second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 62.

As mentioned in lot 1317 above, a pillar dollar of the same date, this choice piece would be an excellent companion for showing both types of coins from the same date, something that only occurred at the Lima mint. With slightly off-center obverse on a broad flan with nearly full rims, this example is a frosty beauty with no hairlines or marks and great luster throughout, the single finest of eight entries in the current NGC census, notably finer than the Millenia specimen that re-sold last year for almost $8000.

PERU, Lima, bust 8 reales, Charles IV, 1797 IJ, NGC MS 62. KM-97; Cal-915. Bold strike (weak rims, though) with choice luster, especially on the reverse, practically no marks or hairlines, in fact begging a higher grade. Please use this link to verify the certification number
