MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1844/35-Do RM. Durango Mint. NGC AU Details--Obverse Damage.
KM-377.4; DP-Do21. This nicely preserved and very attractive example displays lovely rich cabinet patina with iridescent hues that pop out when tilted in the light. Gently circulated with signs of handling consistent for the grade, this handsome piece offers much originality. Close inspection reveals what appears to be a hit mark in the obverse field, accounting for the details designation, long since toned over matching the rest of the coin. Despite its shortcomings a lovely example of the RARE and seldom encountered date.
Estimate: $200 - $300
