Republic 8 Reales 1864 Ho-PR UNC Details (Chopmarked) NGC, Hermosillo mint, KM377.9, DP-Ho05. Considered by Dunigan and Parker to be "very rare" to "extremely rare" as the vast majority of this issue was sent to the Orient. The noted chopmark is a testament to this historical fact. The overall aesthetic of this present piece is quite satisfying, well defined, and radiating a soft glow of underlying luster veiled by a handsome tone. A desirable and elusive early date, from a popular mint, and worthy of attention.
