MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1809-Mo HJ. Mexico City Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC MS-64★. Fr-47; KM-160; Cal-Type 429 # 1782; Cayon-16366; Grove-1876; Onza-1252. Tied for second finest certified of the date with three other examples on the NGC population report, however, this example is the only MS64 with the star designation. A highly desirable type in this state of preservation with lovely smooth flashy surfaces and frosty devices. This wholly original looking example boasts great eye appeal as designated by NGC with a thin veneer of light attractive mottled tone and a few areas of richer coloration. A fantastic representative of the type destined for a fine cabinet of the collector with a discerning eye fully worthy of a premium bid. From the Las Colinas Collection.
