MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1777-Mo FM. Mexico City Mint. Charles III. PCGS MS-63 Gold Shield.
KM-106.2; El-83; Cal-type-103 #923; FC-58a. Exceptionally luxurious, this elusive Mint State offering displays shimmering luster throughout with a sublime arrangement of deep tone. On the obverse, the centers are a consistent rich gray and transition to a hardened teal color that possesses unmistakable metallic characteristics at the edges. The reverse, while displaying the same hues, is more mottled, allowing for more original brilliance to shine through. Combined, the quality is absolutely RARE for this date, this being the single finest example thus far graded by PCGS.
Estimate: $1400 - $1800
