MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1866-Ho FM. Hermosillo Mint. Republic. NGC AU-58.
KM-377.9; DP-Ho07. One of a group of five 1866-dated 8 reales which we are offering in this sale, the present example employs a deep cabinet tone with a muted brilliance peeking through. Dunigan and Parker note this that this date is "extremely rare and is a prime candidate for the rarest date of Hermosillo." Quality that is unlikely to be improved upon, the closest example which this cataloger could locate, an NGC AU-50, realized a hammer of $3,000 in 2018.
Estimate: $3500.00- $4500.00
