Republic gold 8 Escudos 1869 A-DL MS61 Prooflike NGC, Alamos mint, KM383, Long-pg. 294 (Extremely Rare). One of just four examples of this date from the Alamos mint certified by either NGC or PCGS - an extremely rare piece boasting wonderful eye appeal. Dazzlingly reflective fields and sharp in the devices; bizarrely, the obverse book seems to be missing an entire page, presumably from some form of die blockage yet one which has left no surface trauma. The Prooflike gloss simply continues shining from the empty space. A captivating piece whose rarity will not let it escape the attention of Mexican 8 Escudo type collectors.
