MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1733-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Philip V. NGC Unc Details--Saltwater Damage.
KM-103; Cal-Type 146 #776; Gil-M-8-5; FC-3a. Struck during the second year of milled coinage from Mexico, this piece displays excellent detail in the designs and retains significant original flash on the important Pillar side. Prolonged saltwater emersion becomes more apparent when the Shield side is viewed, with little loss of detail, but consistent granularity, suggesting it was this side that remained exposed during most of its life on the sea bed.
Ex: 1733 Plate Fleet.
Estimate: $1500 - $2000
