What a cool piece of history!!
I like it!
I saw that at the same time when they were selling a Santiago 2 reales with some crazy colours. The Santiago piece was low grade too but both had great toning. Congratulations!
Very nice!
Cool piece!

Technical grade ain't everything. Eye appeal is where it's at. I'm increasingly enjoying F-VF material with nice eye appeal these days.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Generically, most Mexico pillar 2R are available in average to low circulated grades. Not necessarily common but not rare either. However, quality for the grade pieces are much harder to find than comparable US (Drapped and Capped Bust) coinage. There appear to be very few nice circulated pieces like this one.
Here is a nice one !

You are correct. It certainly is very nice. Is it yours?
The Mexican Cap & Ray is on my short list if I decide to add another series. Currently, I only own a single MS-61 4R and MS-64 8R. I'd like to start with a high quality type set and then focus on the 4's. However, not enough coin budget and though generically more common than pillars by denomination, not very many really nice coins either.
No.
However I bought this one. And it crossed to PCGS as a 64.
What I don't understand is PCGS has a pop of one .

I saw the coin in the Stacks auction. I was interested in many of the 4R but didn't want to spend the money.
Most of the few graded coins in this series are in NGC holders. I haven't seen too many in PCGS plastic.
Awesome
