Owner Comments:
This is an amazing coin. Despite the technical grade, vastly superior to other issues that I have seen including the 2 so far sold by Heritage with technically higher grades (MS63/Eliasberg and MS64) as their strike is far weaker. In this specimen one can almost read the book of law. Also, contrary to the coins minted in Mexico City, the script in this specimen is perfect (except for the 6/4 that looks superscript). At the time of purchase (May 2017) has graded 12 coins, with all the other coins graded MS.
From the sale's catalogue: "KM-378.5. Nice strike, lightly toned and quite attractive."
