One of only two known Santiago 8R with this countermark (the other dated 1812, Ferdinand VII, and therefore of a different type), lustrous and richly toned Fine+, struck slightly off-center, with VF countermark. When Thomas Faistauer sold his 8R collection with Jess Peters in 1976, this date (in fact the rarest of the Charles IV type) was the only hole in the date-run, due to the fact that he kept this specimen for the Portuguese countermark.

Typically broad (extending beyond the rim), with the reverse slightly off-center, XF+ with only a hint of toning, the tops of the J's of the previous assayer peeking out from around the new assayer A, an over-assayer that does not appear in any reference catalogs that we know of. Estimate: $100-up.

Madrid, Spain, steel trial die for Charles IV bust in 1/2-real size engraved by Gonzales de Sepulveda. 804 grams. Probably for a medal but with coin-design bust and no other details for the strike (hence a trial die and not a complete die), with engraver's name at bottom and Madrid mintmark with 1789 date at top, octagonal body (dark and rusty) but round face (lightly polished), undoubtedly scarce. Found in colonial Guatemala. Estimate: $1,000-$2,000.
Lot# 1691 Lot of 2 copper 4 maravedis, Philip IV, various mints, with multiple revaluation countermarks. Lot of 2 copper 4 maravedis, Philip IV, various mints, with multiple revaluation countermarks. 13.0 grams total.

Estimate: $50-$75.

CT-unlisted (Type 3); KM-unlisted (cf. 654). 9.9 and 10.0 grams each. Interesting revolutionary-era issue struck using the old Provisional Government design (1868-71) but with new date 1874 incuse in the small stars, the better of the two coins in this lot (lustrous AU, the other one toned VF) significantly with "14" in the leftmost star, an error we cannot find in any catalogs and therefore presumably rare. Estimate: $400-$600.
Lot# 1694 Madrid, Spain, 1 peseta, 1904SMV. Madrid, Spain, 1 peseta, 1904SMV. CT-50; KM-721. 5.0 grams. Lustrous UNC with faint blue toning. Estimate: $100-$150.
