Republic 8 Reales 1880 Ca-AV AU58 NGC, Chihuahua mint, KM377.2, DP-Ca59. White frosty luster catches strikes of die polish to burst forth with exquisite beauty on this scarcer issue. Similar die polish lines further reveal flecks of brilliant magenta, apricot, and turquoise hues along the peripheries when exposed to the proper light, presenting a true treat for those lucky enough to hold this specimen in hand. A very elusive date-assayer combination, as DP notes that choice examples are "rare", with chopmarked pieces being the norm.
