MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1838-Pi JS. San Luis Potosi Mint. NGC MS-63.
KM-377.12; DP-Pi13. With only a single coin graded higher at NGC, this Choice Mint State Cap and Rays 8 Reales is extremely nice for the type. While this example does show some of the typical as-made detractors of the type (rusty dies and weak strikes), the overall appearance and strike is miles ahead of the average example and original mint luster behind the silver-gray toning produces a stunning appearance.
Estimate: $600 - $800
