Republic 8 Reales 1839 Go-PJ MS64 NGC, Guanajuato mint, KM377.8, DP-Go21. Currently tied for the finest graded by NGC with none matching this peak level of preservation at PCGS, this laudable example not only bears all the signs of the hand of a master engraver--every fold of the cap bold and lifelike--but all contains a clear flip-over double strike which is best viewed from the reverse, the eagle made ethereal by both champagne-apricot hues and the rays from the obverse cap.
