MEXICO. 8 Reales, 1823-JM. NGC EF-40.KM-A376.4; HO-M02/MR2; DP-Mo01. "Hookneck". Round Top 3 in date and full "J" in Assayers letters. EXTREMELY RARE. OHarrow and Hubard note only 4 examples known, with only two examples certified by NGC or PCGS (neither breaching MINT STATE). From the very beginning of the Mexican Republic and highly desirable for this reason alone. A few small flaws on the reverse. Full "Libertad" on cap. Lovely rose hued light tone.
