Philip V 2 Reales 1732 Mo-F VF20 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM84. Wholesome and a premium coin for the designation with even wear on the raised devices yet retaining good details and without major handling evidence. When offering the duplicate from this truly remarkable collection - Heritage Auctions 1/2016, lot 36006, a coin certified F12 by NGC which hammered for $8,500 - we wrote: "The present coin [F12 NGC] - currently the second finest in NGC's census - ranks indeed as one of the finest extant and vastly desirable as such: it is clearly superior to both the Gerber (Spink America 12/1995, lot 161: a Fine, plugged example) and Patterson (Bonham's 7/1996, lot 79: a pierced and chopmarked coin) specimens (the date was absent from the generally comprehensive Norweb group)". Now offered for the consideration of the advanced collector of Mexican coinage is the finest certified, finest seen by the cataloguer and likely finest extant example of this extremely rare coin. As such, a coin of remarkable significance, the importance of which will undoubtedly be recognized by the bidding public.From the Rudman Collection of Mexican Coins, Part III
