MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1857-Mo GF. Mexico City Mint. NGC MS-64.
Fr-64; KM-383.9. Incredible quality for the type, this glistening near-Gem radiates with prooflike brilliance and luster, all while the devices elicit a subtle frosted nature yielding a cameo feel. Some scattered burnished spots are evident near the peripheries, but do not distract from the dazzling experience that is otherwise provided. Rather unsurprisingly, the finest graded in the NGC census, with the next best merely attaining the grade of MS-61.
Estimate: $3000 - $4500
