Mexico: Charles III 8 Reales 1779 Mo-FF MS64 NGC,...
Description
Tied for Finest Mexican Portrait 8 Reales of Charles III
Charles III 8 Reales 1779 Mo-FF MS64 NGC, Mexico City mint,
KM106.2, Cal-1118. Of outstanding quality not just for this date,
but across the entire Charles III portrait series, where examples
rarely reach or exceeding Choice designations. Mint-fresh devices
abound on this spectacularly preserved near-Gem specimen, blessed
with undulating waves of earthen and aqueous colors interspersed
throughout. Frequently encountered with excessive circulation wear,
this example scales the summit where it shares the top spot with
one other piece, both for the date and the type.From the Grundy Collection of Latin American and Spanish Coins
