Managed to pick up a few more dates for my 8R portrait date set, and upgraded some coins in my 8R type set. Let me know which is your favorite:

1759-Mo 8 Reales in PCGS MS-62 - The big boy of the group. Love the strike!

1801-Mo 8 Reales in NGC MS-62 - Flashy, well struck and no planchet weakness. Forgive the bad seller pics.

1804-Mo 8 Reales in PCGS MS-62 - Luster + crusty color. Not quite @Boosibri 's 1804, but will do for now :smile:

1805-Mo 8 Reales in PCGS AU-58 - Nice reverse strike!

1806-Mo 8 Reales in NGC AU-58 - Well struck, frosty and semi-PL with rim toning.

1859-Mo 8 Reales in PCGS MS-62 - super PL obverse.

    Impressive spread of 8R's! I love the pillar as well, but that last C&R is probably awesome in hand.

    The Pillar gets my vote, too! Beautiful strike and surfaces. Nice!

    @Senator32 I think you meant super PL reverse on the Republic 8 reales. In Mexico, by law, the obverse is the side of the arms (eagle) not the other way around. This is perhaps not known by many, and solve a lot of discussions about what is obverse and reverse in Mexico. Great group of coins! Congrats.

    I noticed the same thing. A few AU58 8Rs I figured I could win for $400-500ish went for nearly $800! Guess that means the Mo market is strong and growing...which is a good thing.

    What dates went for strong money that would have otherwise gone for $500 ish ?
