Republic 8 Reales 1839 Ca-RG XF Details (Obverse Tooled) NGC, Chihuahua mint, KM377.2, DP-Ca10. Ranked by Resplandores as the third rarest date among Chihuahua 8 Reales and key for the aficionado as it marked the implementation of the "Mexican style" dies. This is prominent within the restrained rays and the marked differences within the eagle; such as the elongated neck and unique engraved look of the feathers. This present example firmly embodies these traits and offers a handsome appeal despite the noted obverse deficiency.
