After forgetting to log-in and bid on the Stacks coin I really wanted, I consoled myself by paying a nice premium on a very attractive PCGS AU58 1809 Mo HJ 8 Reales from Coin Rarities Online that would make a great pair to the PCGS AU58 1809 Mo TH already in my collection. Big thanks to Dave @ CoinRaritiesOnline for great customer service. Can't wait to receive it.
Hope you like the look of it as much as I do:
And here's the one I currently own (Purchased from Bill (WWW) all those years ago):

Looks like more of a soft strike than wear - hmm on a bad eye day - that might easily grade 61

The armored bust series of Fernando VII are notorious for their weak strike.
Here are a couple of other examples:
1810/09 (PCGS AU50): Pulled this one out of an old ANACS 45 holder.
1810 HJ (PCGS XF45): On top of the weak strike it must've also been a late state die, judging by the amount of die breaks.
Thanks again folks @ CRO - wonderful experience buying from you.

It's pretty awesome, Z!
It turns out this coin is also one of those imaged for CoinFacts. I.e. TrueView without having the background of one.
Below are Phil's images. He was able to capture the luster much better, but CRO images capture the surfaces very well.

<< <i>I also like the fact you were able to upgrade from an ANACS - good eye. Thats a winner. >>
If you can believe it, I bought it off eBay with bad images (as you can see below) since I was hunting that overdate for a while. When I received it, it was pretty clear that an upgrade to AU @ PCGS was easy.
