MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1743-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Philip V. NGC MS-62. Fr-8; KM-148; Cal-2247; Grove-not listed; Onza-441. Flashy and semi-prooflike luster that covers both sides. Strongly struck and without any planchet adjustments or distractions, this example is exceedingly appealing, with a flashy nature seldom encountered on coins from this era. Several areas of rich mottled orange tone on the obverse speak to its originality with signs of being gently handled determining the grade. A very attractive and eye appealing example of the type. From the Pat Johnson Collection.
