The Gold Escudo Type Set, Hand on Book Custom Set, 1825-1870, Circulation Issue Abuelo's Collection

Owner Comments:

Delightful little coin with great amount of lustre. Uncirculated and all the details present. At the time of purchase (January 2019) PCGS has graded 5 coins, with 1@61 and 1@64.

In his book, Mr Richard Long lists this coin as very scarce., "most of the known examples are in XF condition, with a few known in lower grades. AU and BU are extremely rare".

From the sale's catalogue: "Lot Description MEXICO. 1/2 Escudo, 1858-Mo FH. Mexico City Mint. PCGS MS-61 Gold Shield. Fr-107; KM-378.5. Well struck with reflective qualities in the fields. A lovely type representative."
