Lima 4 Reales 1758

Eddi

I "re-discovered" this 4 Reales Columnario from Lima in my collection yesterday. It is a pretty, mid-grade coin, ex-Ponterio sometime in the late 80's.

As I usually do, I checked acsearch auction archives for previous sales, but was surprised there were no auction records for this particular mint and year.

Does anybody have any information regarding this issue?

As with most Lima 4R’s (1754 and 1772 being more available), the 1758 is a rare date. Yonaka lists it as R3. There are no documented varieties for the date.

Thank you very much, Brian. I see now Gilboy has it as R3 as well.
I must get a copy of Brad Yonaka's work.

I own the NGC XF-45. It's one of four I own along with the 1756 NCG XF-45, 1770 NGC AU-53, and 1772 PCGS XF-45.

Patterson owned two 1758s which appear (from the images) to be about as nice as mine. (Mine MIGHT have been one of his.) Sellschopp didn't own one.

Mine is a uniform dark color but not too dark. Very little wear on the crown side but a lot more noticeable on the pillar side. Probably lightly cleaned at some point in the past.
