MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1851-Ga JG. Guadalajara Mint. PCGS Genuine--Altered Surfaces, AU Details. Fr-70; KM-383.5. It is not entirely clear what is meant by the "altered surfaces" designation, but this example does exhibit a number of scattered marks on and around the book on the obverse. Meanwhile, there is little in the way of actual handling, and overall there is an alluring golden-cherry tone that takes hold near the legends. <strong>To view all items from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection, click <a href="https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots?sort=auction_date_lot_number_asc&search=Salton+Collection&limit=36&lots_range=upcoming"> here.</a></strong> From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
