PCGS Old Holder MS65 8 Reale

Very nice color but the reverse seems a little under struck. If it was a strong strike this would be a wonderful coin.

I have no connection to the coin nor do I know the seller. It was just an eye popper that I thought others may like to see.

    It's a nice example, attractive color, definitely a top pop, but not a scarce year / mint mark combination. Also, must have been struck early in the year, since there is no die rust on the cap side usually associated with 1863 Mo-TH. I've recently sold a colorful MS63 of that year/mm for around $450, so I don't think the seller is far off on their $1,300 price tag if you consider it's an MS65, older PCGS holder, toned, and top pop.

    Oh, man. I'm no 8R specialist by a longshot, but I was pleasantly surprised when I clicked the link. I'd say for once the use of the word "fabulous" in the seller's title is more than just hype. I do believe it is warranted.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    Z, a year ago I would agree image

    Right now i'm focusing on the portraits 8 Reales of the Monarchy and War of Independence and if I want to continue adding quality to the set, I need to be rather selective in where I spend the cash. I'm already kicking myself for wandering into the Pillar 8 Reales series image

    Small world. I once owned that coin (my first world coin) and used it as my introduction to the World Coin Forum back in 2003. As I recall, I traded a 1999 US silver proof set for it.
