Holiday guess the grade contest - win a couple of 8 Reales!

I admired this coin when I first saw it listed on SixBid, but wasn't planning to bid. Logged into Bolaffi's live auction just as this lot came up and took it as a sign... (obviously image )



Once I receive it, off to PCGS it goes!



In the meantime, let's play "Guess the Grade"



Winner will receive two 8 Reales coins from my miscellaneous drawer. Granted, both will be raw and with problems (hairlines, corrosion, AT, etc...), but still two nice chunks of silver. I'll post the photos of the prize this weekend.



In case of a tie, I will use a random number generator and the person with the lowest generated random number will be the winner!



Here's the auction description and images:



Carlo IV di Spagna (1788-1808) - 8 Reales 1794 - Zecca: Città del Messico - Diritto: busto di Carlo IV a destra - Rovescio: stemma di Spagna coronato fra due colonne - gr. 26,96 - Di alta qualità, con patina iridescente (Calicò n. 687)
