Description

Philip V 8 Reales 1740 Mo-MF MS65 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM103, cf. Elizondo-17 (only listed as an overdate), Calbeto-751, Cal-1456. An early series date that is hardly witnessed with any regularity in this level of preservation, even within the most prestigious collections. Tied with a single other MS65 at PCGS while no representatives of the date certify finer either there or at NGC. We note that even the Rudman specimen graded two points lower, the Gerber example clearly not considered of good enough condition to be pictured, and the Norweb piece, while nice, was only called a "good very fine." Indeed, the finest we have offered was an MS64, which brought $8400 in our January 2018 NYINC sale. Carefully preserved since its inception, with an all-over golden tone to the planchet and design facets fully struck, rendering this an offering sure to attract collectors.
