Mexico
Republic "Hookneck" 8 Reales 1824 Do-RL AU53 NGC, Durango mint, KM376.2, DP-Do01. Defiant snake, Small Libertad Cap variety. An avidly sought and short lived design type where the classic eagle design of Mexican coinage is profiled. Even more intriguing is the expansive variety offered by this mint alone. The present specimen is undeniably impressive with a steely complexion, common center weakness, and a pleasing sharpness that make the technical grade arguably conservative.
