MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1744-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Philip V. NGC MS-62. Fr-8; KM-148. Tied for third finest certified of the date with one other on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, only three finer (NGC MS 63 [2] and MS 64+ [1]). This nicely preserved example of the type exhibits a bold strike with good definition of the fine details on both sides and plenty of flashy luster in the protected areas complemented by faint sunset hued patina in the peripheries adding to its pleasing appearance. This lovely survivor offers qualities that many seek, certain to catch the attention of discerning collectors.
