MEXICO. "Hookneck" 1/2 Real, 1824-Mo JM. Mexico City Mint. PCGS MS-64.
KM-369. Assuredly one of the finest examples of the type denomination extant, this entrancing and wholly enthralling near-Gem dazzles with a rather pleasing strike, immense lustrous brilliance emanating from the protected areas, and a slight ring of peripheral iridescence--all of which elevate the piece to extremely lofty heights. An undeniable dream coin for the connoisseur of these early issues.
Estimate: $1500 - $3000
