MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1851-GC MP. Guadalupe y Calvo Mint. NGC AU-58. Fr-71; KM-383.6. Tied for third finest certified of the date with one other example on the NGC population report, only two finer (MS-60 and MS-62). This nicely preserved and wholly original looking example exhibits bold devices with gently circulated surfaces consistent for the grade. The classic motif is accentuated by pale golden color with richer patination in the protected areas offering much originality and is pleasing to the eye.
