MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1866-C CE. Culiacan Mint. NGC MS-63.Fr-66; KM-383.2. Impressively preserved with attractive flashy luster, medium honey golden color throughout and only trivial instances of handling over the surfaces. While commonplace to the issue, some remnant micro-porosity from imperfect planchet production remains visible in the centers and if nothing else, perhaps precludes an even higher grade on this already finest-graded example.
