MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1861/0-Ga JG. Guadalajara Mint. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
Fr-91; KM-383.5. On both sides, intense luster illuminates the yellow gold fields with only trivial instances of handling. Sharply struck as well, the centers are perfectly crisp, displaying all of the die's details. Nearly the same can be said of the legends which show only slight weakness near twelve o'clock. Superb overall quality for any "Hand on Book" issue, let alone one from the conditionally challenging Guadalajara Mint. As the single finest graded by either PCGS or NGC for any date from this mint, immensely collectible and certain to attract spirited bidding.
Estimate: $7000.00- $10000.00
