MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1859-C CE. Culiacan Mint. NGC UNC Details-Reverse Cleaned.
KM-377.2; DP-Cn14. This attractive, nicely preserved example exhibits smooth satiny surfaces with bold devices. When rotated in the light a cartwheel effect becomes apparent adding to this pleasing piece. Close inspection reveals evidence of a past cleaning, long since toned over and attractive. Despite its shortcomings, this lovely example offers good eye appeal.
Estimate: $150 - $250
