MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1868-A DL. Alamos Mint. NGC AU Details-Reverse Scratched, Cleaned.
KM-377. DP-As06. A SCARCE date for this mint. Boldly struck with nicely detailed devices, this decently preserved example displays bright surfaces with areas of rich patina in the peripheries. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning with several thin scratches on the reverse above the eagle's right wing, now toned over. Despite its shortcomings a presentable example of this desirable and sought after date.
Estimate: $100 - $200
