MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1864-O FR. Oaxaca Mint. NGC MS-66.
KM-377.11; DP-Oa13. Tied for second finest certified of the date with three other examples on the NGC population report, only two finer (MS-66+ and MS-67). With a light iridescent tone to match the extreme amounts of luster, Mexican 8 Reales do not come much nicer from this period of time. This coin has the wow factor with beautiful clean and mirror like fields and even a bit of frost on the exquisitely detailed devices. Boldly struck, there are details on this survivor that do not show on lesser mint state examples.
Estimate: $1000 - $1500
