Republic 8 Reales 1859 Pi-MC/PS AU55 NGC, San Luis Potosi mint, KM377.12, DP-Pi40. Probably an 1859/8 overdate as noted in DP for this variety. Attractive for the designation with scant high-point friction and pleasant, even golden toning over partially lustrous and problem-free surfaces. An unusually choice example of this very rare issue - rarer than the 1859 Pi-PS as noted in DP - currently the finest certified at NGC of the overassayer variety and quite possibly the second finest extant overall (the best seen by the cataloguer being the Mike McCormick specimen that sold for $11,500 in Ponterio's 9/2007 sale) thus very desirable as such.From the FoxLair Collection
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
