PHILIPPINES. Philippines - Mexico. 8 Reales, ND (ca. 1834-37). Manila Mint. Isabel II. NGC EF Details--Cleaned; C/S: VF Standard.
KM-Not listed; Basso-56; PNM#6-122; PNM#16-258; PNM#21-VIII-78; Cacho-IX-CS-074; Gil-5-4-1-II; DP-Mo03. Type VI Countermark, crowned Y.II. within circle. Countermark applied to the obverse of a 1824-Mo JM Mexico Republic 8 Reales; Die style of 1824-47; normal eagle variety, first date of issue. This is an example of an EXTREMELY RARE sneaky date as a host coin. Even without the countermark it is much scarcer than its "Hookneck" counterpart of the same year. We have only three examples recorded of this date, all with different crown varieties, whereas we have 13 documented "Hookneck" types of the same date. The countermark is somewhat unevenly applied with all the pertinent details clear and bold. The host is nicely preserved with light signs of handling consistent for the grade and hints of luster in the protected areas. Upon close inspection evidence of a past cleaning become apparent, now subdued and attractive.
From the Angelita and Benito Legarda Collection.
