8 Reales Madness - Carlos III 的钱币相册
Yonaka-M8-72 - Lustrous and attractive example of this first year issue with armored bust of Charles III. Mintmark and assayers' initials (FM) facing rim, which is only seen on issues 1772-1773
Yonaka-M8-72a - first dies of the Portrait Series with apparent confusion at the Mint as to how to place assayer's initials in the new design. Scarce variety MF instead of FM. Nice luster with a few small hairlines as expected for the grade. Acquired from World Numismatics and previously housed in an NGC AU55 holder.
Yonaka-M8-74 - Lustrous and original with beautiful cabinet toning. Currently the best example of this date certified as the only MS example at PCGS with only 3 others at NGC, but all in lower grades (60-62).
Yonaka-M8-74 - Fantastic color with just a hint of friction. The least abundant normal type in the 1772-1821 8 Reales Portrait series.
Yonaka-M8-76 - One of the most original examples of this date ever encountered. Pedigreed to Archer M. Huntington Collection.
Yonaka-M8-77a - 1777/6 - A nice clear example of this Rare (R2) over-date pedigreed to Paul Rutherford's collection.
Yonaka-M8-80 - An attractive, high-end example with a great strike and wonderful color starting to develop around the periphery. One of the first coins graded with a "plus" designation in 2010 and one of only 6 AU58's worthy of a plus across the entire Mexico Colonial Milled 8 Reales series.
Yonaka-M8-81 - Neat coin with letter R in GRATIA appearing to have been struck over a previous letter, perhaps a G. There are also numerous micro chopmarks present that seems to have escaped the graders, with one being placed directly in Carlos III's eye.
Yonaka-M8-83a - A well-traveled and rare (R2) variety with assayer initials FM. There's a belief that most of these ended-up in China as part of the 19th Century silver trade and that's why the few examples that do surface often contain chopmarks.
Yonaka-M8-84a - The wholesome and attractive example displays lovely rich cabinet patina with iridescent hues that pop out when tilted in the light. This lightly circulated example offers even wear with much remaining luster in the protected areas. Pleasing to the eye and wholly original looking, this handsome example is sure to be a welcome addition to the collection. Ex NGC AU58
Yonaka-M8-85 - Best certified example of this date. Ex Morton & Eden's March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection. Part of lot #365. Ex HSA 1001.1.850
Yonaka-M8-86 - A fantastic specimen superbly toned in shades of golden orange, indigo and rose on the obverse, with cool silvery blue and sea green on the reverse. Ex Morton & Eden’s March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection, one of three coins offered in lot #365. While not the highest graded at PCGS with one other coin in MS63, it does, in my opinion, possess superior eye-appeal to that specimen (cert# 17233896)
Yonaka-M8-87 - Toned with lustrous blue and rose highlights among devices. Pedigreed to Archer M. Huntington collection and previously residing in an NGC61 holder.
