Owner Comments:
Highest NGC or PCGS graded example and shares the honor of the highest graded coin in my 8 reales collection with one other from Peru. Full luster and sharp strike on both sides with just a little weakness above the crown on the reverse. Purchased, freshly slabbed, from Mexican Coins and More in October of 2013. Any 1776 coin is popular with US collectors and typically sells at a hefty premium -- this one was no exception.
