MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1833-Do RM. Durango Mint. PCGS AU-58.
KM-377.4; DP-Do10. This is an essentially brilliant example, although direct lighting calls forth pale gold and wisps of violet iridescence. The strike is sharp over all but a few isolated design elements, and the surfaces retain plenty of satiny mint luster. Very few of these early 8 Reales survive in Mint State grades, keeping pressure high for attractive Choice About Uncirculated coins like that offered here.
Estimate: $200 - $400
