Philip V Pillar 8 Reales 1747 Mo-MF MS64 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM103. Another world-class Pillar, this piece unmatched in grade at NGC, and benefitting from an impressively bold strike that translated the design in stunning high relief. Scintillating frosty luster in the fields also adorns both sides, with exceptionally few marks that result from careless handling over the centuries. An important issue for the collector of Latin American coinage, and due to the type's wide circulation through the United States during the colonial period and into the 19th century, a coin that should resonate loudly with collectors of early American numismatics as well.
Estimate: 6000-9000 USD
