Republic 8 Reales 1866 C-CE MS63 NGC, Culiacan mint, KM-377.3, DP-Cn23. 6-pointed star variety. Tone-free with some as-made porosity remaining in the planchet. Among the finest survivors of this rare date, and currently unsurpassed in the NGC census. To illustrate the popularity of the date, we note our previous sale of a PCGS-graded UNC details "Environmental Damage" example that sold for $1,762.50 in our 2015 sale of the Sonora Cap Collection.
