Mexico City, Mexico, 1 real, Charles-Joanna, "Early Series," assayer G between bottoms of pillars, assayer M/F to the left, mintmark M to right (oM/Fo-oMo), motto as PLVS in left-leaning rhomboid panel with single annulets on either side, rare, NGC VF 30. Nesmith-9 for type; Cal-unl (61 for type); S-M2; KM-unl (6 for type). 3.22 grams. This variety is new to us but contains known assayer G shield and pillars types (but more interestingly not a shield variety found under assayers P or F...yet). Rarity and beauty align with a bold strike and choice toning, full legends and interiors combined with a previously unknown overassayer type. It was purchased after Nesmith's book; however, Nesmith might not have recognized it as an overassayer coin and simply listed it as another variety of G. To be fair, Hubbard did not recognize it as such either. Tied with next lot for finest known in NGC census NGC #6448168-044. Pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection of Mexican Charles-Joanna Coinage (stated on label) and pedigreed to the Christensen auction of March 1966, lot 2932. Accompanied by original tag or holder from Clyde Hubbard.
