PCGS - XF 40

A well struck example with an expressive portrait, problem-free surfaces, and pleasing gray toning that darkens in the protected areas. Rare in this condition. Slabbed by PCGS as XF 40.

NGC - MS 60
Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). 8 escudos. 1811. Lima. JP. (Cal-1756). (Cal onza-1214). . An admirable representative of this fleeting imaginary bust type for Ferdinand VII coined in Lima between 1808 and 1811 before the proper dies with realistic King's effigy had been obtained from Europe. The laudably sharp characteristics are attractively styled upon appreciably reflective fields. Planchet flaws on the obverse. Conditionally very scarce at this level of preservation, and an enticing offering for the quality-minded collectors. Slabbed by NGC as MS 60. Est...6000,00.
Ferdinand VII (1808-1833). 8 escudos. 1817/8. Santiago. FJ. (Cal-1877). (Cal onza-Unlisted). . 27,11 g. Bust of Charles IV. Minimal superficial hairlines, otherwise lovely specimen retaining full original luster and sharply struck with all details well defined. Rare, especially in this condition.. Some dies dated 1818 were prepared by the Republicans before they had completed the engraving of the Republican 2-flags type, but those were eventually dismissed as unacceptable (since they would be proof of an independent republic issuing colonial coinage) and repunched with the 1817 date. This fact accounts for the apparently puzzling 1817/8 specimens extant, which were struck in early 1818. Almost MS. Est...5000,00.
Mendoza - NGC MS 62 ¡¡Top Pop!!
Argentina. 2 reales. ND “818” date (ca. 1823 clandestine issue). Mendoza. (Km-Unlisted). (Janson-10.1). (Medina-267, Plate coin). . 5,92 g. “Imitation cob”. Struck on a broad flan with exceptional definition for the type, showing a full cross with well-shaped lions and castles, and complete pillars-and-waves on the reverse.
Retains original luster beneath a soft iridescent tone, more pronounced on the obverse, enhancing its eye appeal. It is the finest of the 5 specimens known.
Extremely rare and boasting an important pedigree, as plate coin illustrated in José Toribio Medina’s "Las Monedas Obsidionales Hispano-Americanas" (Santiago, 1919), specimen no. 267, pictured on page 199.
Slabbed by NGC as MS 62 (Top Pop), the finest specimen in the NGC census.
This rare “818” variety belongs to a short-lived and clandestine series attributed to the mint of Mendoza, Argentina, around 1823. Long misattributed to Venezuela since Medina’s time, recent research by Héctor Carlos Janson (see Janson, 2020, p. 472, nos. 10.1–10.2) reclassified these emissions based on the discovery of a single specimen bearing the Fidelidad countermark decreed on December 2, 1823. These emergency issues emerged amidst a silver shortage that forced local authorities to validate circulating coinage by countermarking all pieces appearing to be silver between December 1823 and April 1824.
Janson speculates that these imitation cobs were secretly struck in Chile and smuggled into Mendoza, where local law tolerated unofficial coinage provided it was countermarked and revalidated for circulation. The few known specimens lacking countermarks, such as this piece, likely remained in rural circulation and escaped later withdrawal decrees.
A fascinating relic of early Argentine monetary history and one of the most elusive types of the independence period. The single finest known example, combining exceptional preservation, sharp detail, and historic significance—a true centerpiece for the connoisseur of South American colonial and post-colonial silver coinage.

Despite this, the piece retains strong visual appeal, with well-defined details —including a clearly visible overdate— and an attractive orange tone. Very rare; we have not found any examples of this overdate offered at auction in recent years. Slabbed by NGC as AU Details, Removed from jewelry. Est...9000,00.

PAT 97
Cuba. 1 peso souvenir. 1897. (Km-XM1). . high relief variety with wide date and "PAT.97." on truncation, toned, mintage of only 828 pieces. Nick on the edge. In 1897, to raise money for Cuba's struggle for independence, a New York banker came up with the idea to issue souvenir "coins." These 1897 Cuban liberation pesos bear no denomination (inscribed SOUVENIR instead of a denomination) and were sold for US$1 each. They were designed by Philip Martiny and show the Cuban coat of arms on the obverse and a personification of Liberty on the reverse. Gorham Manufacturing Co., of Providence, R.I., was contracted to produce the pieces, but could not initially, so in July 1897, Dunn Air-Brake in Philadelphia struck the first 828 pieces, using dies and planchets that Gorham had provided. In August, Gorham produced an additional 9,142 pieces. The two versions can be distinguished by the spacing of the date on the obverse, the rarer one (Dunn) having a wide date. VF. Est...700,00.
