Lot 1325 Click on photo for enlarged version Click on photo for enlarged version
Mexico - San Luis Potosi. 8 Reales, 1870-Pi-PS. Die Style of 1867-1870. Normal Date. DP-Pi58; KM 377.12. Cap and Rays. Very Rare. For Mexican coins, a marvelously sharp strike, with only trifling weakness o the eagle. Once cleaned, but not egregiously. White, with faint retoning. Choice Almost Uncirculated.
Estimated Value $6,000-7,500.
The 1870 Potosi 8 Reales were manufactured for a very short time before beginning production on the One Pesos. Therefore they are all very rare. Dunigan & Parker alluded to three uncirculated specimens known to them, one of them being this coin, which was pictured in the variety plate. It remains as one of the finest known.
