Republic 8 Reales 1829 EoMo-LF AU50 NGC, Estado de Mexico (Tlalpam) mint, KM377.5, DP-EoMo02. Quite choice for the designation, attractively toned with strong subdued luster in the fields and limited friction evidence on the higher points. A decidedly superior example of this key issue in the Caps and Rays series, in unusually high preservation (Dunigan-Parker: "this coin averages about VF") and a good strike showing an essentially fully struck-up eagle's breast (Dunigan-Parker: "A slight softness on the eagle's breast seems to be the general rule"). Currently tied with another example as the second highest certified by NGC, certainly among the finest available and thus a coin that should elicit strong interest from the specialists of this popular series.
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
