Philip V 8 Reales 1711 M-J MS67 NGC, Madrid mint, KM291, Cal-1338, Cay-9231. PHILIPPVS and HISPANIARUM variety. An absolute show-stopper in this cataloger's humble opinion and one that is unlikely to see a rival appear in the near future. The superlatives of this immaculate example are many, from the decisive strike to the appreciable cabinet tone fully encasing this expansive milled issue. But where there is no comparison is the amazing state of preservation, certified an unfathomable and deserved MS67, showcasing an absolute lack of distracting marks. With such pristine surfaces, one can only surmise having been tucked away or lost soon after its production and certainly identified throughout the last three centuries as a special piece. The specimen at hand signifies the apex of conditional rarity, representing the sole finest Spanish-minted 8 Reales at NGC or PCGS, totaling more than 600 examples, and may well be the finest across colonial mints as well. With this in mind, we expect an impressive bidder response and look forward to where the hammer may fall.
