Mexico: Republic silver Pattern 8 Reales 1882 Ho-JA MS64 NGC,...

Description

Storied Hermosillo Pattern Cap & Ray

Republic silver Pattern 8 Reales 1882 Ho-JA MS64 NGC, Hermosillo mint, KM-Pn136var., Buttrey p.259. A veritable masterpiece, showcasing beauty, rarity, and historical significance. The generous reflectivity of the fields plays host to multi-colored hues that dazzle playfully across the uncirculated planchet. The circumstances surrounding its issue remain somewhat shrouded in mystery, though the design almost identically parallels William Wyon's Guanajuato 8 Reales patterns that were produced in 1826 and 1827. The majestic design is amplified by assayer Jesus Acosta's intense devotion to quality as each and every detail of the raised devices lifts emphatically with full-throttle precision. We handled this exact specimen, formerly in a PCGS Specimen 64 holder, in 2014 where it realized $47,000. A once in a blue moon opportunity for the most discerning Pattern collectors as well as specialists in Republican coinage.
