Philip V 8 Reales 1746 Mo-MF MS64+ NGC, Mexico City mint, KM103, Cal-1470. Here we have for auction, a true conditional rarity that is unrivaled by every other certified example of the date known to PCGS and NGC. This 64+ stands alone on the mountaintop, serving as a beacon of preservational excellence for this treasured emission. We are delighted that an example of this "Pillar Dollar" type, that served as a workhouse currency in Latin and North America, even still exists in such a beautiful state, but doubly so that we get to be the firm to present it to market. Mint State specimens from this series are often found with dull, washed-out luster or an unattractive patina; but this coin is swimming in mint-kissed white frost and elegant, satin luster. Collectors of the type, of which there are many, should be ready for a potential bidding war come auction day. HID09801242017 © 2023 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
