Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Nice addition, MLC! While the most common date of the Mexico Mint Carlos IV bust series - this coin is anything but common. MS 64 is the highest grade currently across all of the Mexico portrait series (1772-1821) and the eye appeal is definitely all there. NGC has quite a few more 64's and even a 65, but when it comes to grading this series - PCGS is much stricter.
I can agree that is a really nice coin...but why is it in the U.S. Coin Forum?
Because it was authorized by the US government to circulate as legal tender in the US until 1857.
There were definitely more 8 Reales circulating in the early days of this nation than actual US silver dollars.
In fact, if George Washington really did throw a "silver dollar" across Potomac in his younger days, it would have been an 8 Reales, since the first US silver dollar was not minted until 5 years prior to Washington's death.
