That looks very cool and I have actually never seen this design before. Thank you for showing it to us.

Close to 40%
Thanks for asking 😊

I seem to remember Dave Akers remarking in his intoductory comments at the Pittman sale about collecting Mexican 8 Reales by date. Something like "if you want to really drive yourself crazy", or "you would have to be crazy". Was anyone here at that sale? Do you remember that?

I recently got back from PCGS a submission of (10) 8 reales cap /rays
This was for crossover .
All coins submitted were in NGC holders .
I was two for 10 .
Lousy
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Well the example posted above is absolutely lovely.
I imagine that you have an idea going into the submission X percent solid cross, X percent maybe and similarly one or two unlikely but hopeful. If so, out of the ten what were you thinking, are far as a number, 5? 6? 7?, were solid to cross.
Given that you have crossed numerous coins over the years, do you have the sense things are tighter currently? Or is it a matter of just unfortunate luck on this particular submission.

i was hoping for 4-5 to absolutely cross. One that did not cross was a NGC 65 + that I asked to be crossed at a 65.
A blazer it was a mid earlier date. But nooooo......
I think they are tighter so much so it may be the last time I do this !!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I don't know that I would have been confident on the 63, maybe I'd think otherwise if seen in hand.
I'd love to see that NGC65+ if you get the chance. It should tell the story.

@bidask A nice addition for sure! - Is the 1833 Mo MJ a tough date too?
A slightly better date but not a tough date

Upcoming Rutherford collection has PCGS 55 specimen of this date ,
Here is my mine.
PCGS 64
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Can someone tell me why the Rutherford speciman in PCGS 55 sold for $12,000 all in ?
Was it a different variety from the one I own?
PCGS says both are 1860-Oa AE 8 R Oa04 Eagle of 1859-1860.
Is that so ?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I have no idea but I'm going to link the coin and add the pictures.
Also your post above is a little confusing in that you say "Here's mine" but posted the TV of the 55
MS 64 COIN

The eagle looks different
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Where are you seeing the differences?
Beyond accounting for the difference due to strike.
Here depicted with yours as a transparency over the colorized 55, lines up
Same thing only I left the 55 as normal and colorized the transparency.

I agree the strike is stronger on the one in Stacks auction.
Also, PCGS does state they are both
eagle of 59-60 .
I’m not sure that’s correct .
Why would the one in Stacks that just auctioned for 12k bring so much ?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I like this color better on the one I own .
It’s also formerly own by Clyde Hubbard

Does not the eagle on the right tail as well as neck look different?
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
I don't see any difference beyond strike. The overlays, see above, match very tightly.
However, I have zero expertise on these coins, or any coins really, and you are the one who would know best.
