What do you think this 8R would grade?

I'm thinking about submitting.......would the grade be high enough to warrant the submission?

It's hard to judge the surfaces due to the toning, but based on the images, I'd think AU58 or MS62. Not to be overly fussy but it's an 8 reales, not a peso.

I have no idea why I wrote that, but it's fixed

1895-Mo AM 8 R MS 3@ 61 5@ 62 2@ 63 1@64 2@65 with 18 in all grades

It appears by the pic it may warrant a 62 status, but the pic is very limiting. What appears like wear on the high spots may be a weaker strike, although most latter (1890's) strikes are of nice quality. Does it appear mint state under a 5x ? if so you probably have a ms62. With what appears to be original and colorful toning and only 18 graded at pcgs you may have a winner.
If you want to sell it raw pm me. If you do have Pcgs grade the piece, please let me know the outcome. Wish you the best in your 8R adventures.

Thanks guys. I may send this in along with a few other Mexican coins and get them graded, just for the fact they are nice
