My most significant Mexican 8R that is assigned a formal grade, XF45. Note the FM on the reverse.

Here is mine.

1 of only 4 in the entire 75 year Cap & Rays series graded 66+. None finer.
It will be auctioned at the New York International sale in January.

You will have to explain the FM
The FM is inverted. Note that the position of the letters face outwards rather than inwards, as the rest of the legend.

Very cool congrats!!

@harasha - thats an old friend! I think one of the first dozen or so 8R's I've ever certified. Love that D-shaped obverse strike through.
@KingOfMorganDollar check out the link in my signature. I dont want to post too many as most people on this board have seen my 8Rs on probably too many occasions as it is.
Here's one I haven't posted before. Its still in transit to me from Germany:
Well... maybe one more:
Post as many as you want.

This one is mine, and my only Charles 4 portrait.
And yet, this is not the inverted variety for the date. Odd how that works out, no?
Here's the inverted variety:
I would post mine except most of them have been seen before because they came from @TwoKopeiki....

Post them anyways.

@Tunis - Not sure if you saw this one on IG and if you need that year:
Here we have an 8 reales from Mexico (thank you @TwoKopeiki )
Latin American Collection
Something a bit different...
And ex @Boosibri and @OriginalDan
And ex. NGC MS holder
That chicken eagle is still MS if i'm not mistaken.
I do have some AU's that were NGC MS's before, though. You'll recognize the first one:
SUD 8 Reals error dated 18812. Probably a counterfeit rather than a Morelas issue. Beautiful Metal

Hah, you're right. I should have stated ex NGC MS62.
I imagine the PCGS grader turning up his nose a little as he nocked off a point.
@TwoKopeiki @OriginalDan and I think the 61 to 62 for the coin is borderline. While Now is 61, likely due to the mark on the cheek, I can very well see the coin on a 62 holder (as the NGC that had while sold by Heritage).
@Abuelo I’ve see much worse in a 62 holder. I expected 58 more than I expected 61 (although I think 62 was about right, maybe with a plus).
@OriginalDan IF I ever resubmit it and changes, will let you know
To be fair, despite the grade, it is the most attractive Pollito I have ever seen, even if it misses the eagle's claw on the chest.

PCGS has some attractive 1776's certified, that's for sure.
Nice group, especially those last four!
Nice coin... It'd be a shame if someone bought it off you...
