MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1851/41-Ca RG. Chihuahua Mint. NGC AU Details-Obverse Scratched.
KM-377.2; DP-Ca22. This decently preserved sneaky date exhibits boldly struck devices with brilliant surfaces. Gently circulated, wear is primarily contained to the high points and exposed areas. Close inspection reveals a small scratch in the obverse field accounting for the details designation. Despite its shortcomings a handsome example of this VERY RARE date.
According to Resplandores this is one of the SCARCEST date of the 1850s and is also scarcer than any of the dates from the 1841-49 period.
