MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1868-Go YF. Guanajuato Mint. PCGS Genuine--Streak Removed, Unc Details.
KM-377.8; DP-Go50. Flashy, original, lilac surfaces are interrupted by the silhouette of a metal streak passing through the flan. Despite what PCGS asserts on the holder insert, these streaks are an infrequent but recognizable occurrence on planchets from this period, likely due to poor metallurgy. As a result, uneven toning has developed, but with no hairlines or signs of doctoring, the cataloger believes the coin is no less original than when it left the mint. The perks of bountiful luster and a solid strike will engender spirited competition between discerning specialists.
Estimate: $70 - $100
