Monster Hole Filled for my Mexico Maximilian Set!!!

The very first coin I ever purchased at a coin show was an 1867 Maximilian Peso in VF for $25. Since then I have been on a quest to very slowly build a full set of the Maximilian series including all denominations and varieties. I even want one example of the pattern trial strikes of the 1 Peso. This bad boy that I won today is a big deal! I now have the pop top for both the 1866/5 10c and the 1866/4 5c. The Krause catalog says there is also an 1866/4 10c but neither NGC or PCGS has graded one?
Pop 1/0 with a total of only 2 graded by NGC and 0 graded by PCGS.

The more "common" ones are the small letter Peso in copper and the large (normal) letter Peso in copper. These usually come in very low grade and beat up. If you don't mind one like that, let me know as I may know of one for sale in Mexico.
Judging by the prices of Mexican patterns these days, if a decent one comes to auction, it won't be cheap.
A nice pair....
Talk about thread necromancy

Tookybandit that is one nicely toned example. I love how the pull away toning graces the obverse legends. Hard to improve -
Enjoyed numismatic conversations with Eric P. Newman, Dave Akers, Jules Reiver, David Davis, Russ Logan, John McCloskey, Kirk Gorman, W. David Perkins...
I like it
