MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1809-Mo TH. Mexico City Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield.
KM-110; Cal-Type 143 #539; Yonaka-M8-109. An unbelievable survivor of this popular Imaginary Bust type, this Gem-quality showpiece displays intense, sparkling luster that is virtually unimpeded in the fields, with the addition of well-struck designs and surfaces that are free from the issue's frequently-occurring planchet imperfections. A thin ring of mostly gold tone circles the edges, and affirms that this coin has long been kept with care. A clear standout item, so much so that not only is it the only MS-65 graded of the date by PCGS, but it's also the only MS-65 that PCGS has graded of any Ferdinand VII 8 Reales. As such, a real prize for the quality-focused collector!
Estimate: $2500 - $5000
