- Exceptionally Preserved Sombrerete 4 Reales MEXICO. Sombrerete de Vargas. War of Independence. 4 Reales, 1812. Sombrerete Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS AU-50. KM-175; Ramirez-S4.2.1. The single finest certified of the date on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. Beautifully preserved, this lovely survivor is bar and far nicer than normally encountered for issues from this mint. The strike is bold on the crudely made planchet with nearly complete design features, though both sides do show evidence of shifting during the striking process. The surfaces are as smooth as one could hope for from this series displaying lovely medium gray tone with a slight iridescent sheen that pops out when tilted. A real treat for the specialist of this series, as high-grade examples from this tumultuous time in Mexico are difficult to come by and should be considered EXTREMELYRAREin this high state of preservation. Estimate: $2,000 - $4,000. Provenance: From the Pat Johnson Collection. Ex: Norweb Collection. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
