Very scarce Hookneck specimen from the Guanajuato Mint. According to Hubbard and O'Harrow, finding Guanajuato Hoooknecks with full Libertad is extremely difficult. Of the three mints that produced Hooknecks (Mexico City, Durango, and Guanajuato), Guanajuato is the least common. At the time of purchase, a search to Heritage website yielded only 3 coins for Guanajuato 1824, and this one was the only one not with a Details grade. Also, at the time of purchase, the NGC census listed 17 coins graded plus 6 with a details grade. Of those with numeric grade there are 5 at 45, 1 at 50, 3 at 55, and 1 at 62. However, as the NGC census follows the KM system instead of the Hubbard and O'Harrow system, it is difficult to know how many coins of the same type are listed. Hubbard and O'Harrow variety GO11 and GR11.
From the sale's catalogue: "Republic Hookneck 8 Reales 1824 Go-JM XF45 NGC, Guanajuato mint, KM376.1, DP-Go01. A wholesome example, with contained, even wear over partially lustrous surfaces with moderate handling marks and pleasant rims. A scarcer mint for this hookneck type, quite challenging and much in demand in this unflawed, attractive quality.
From the FoxLair Collection"

Of all Hookneck coinage, Guanajuato 1825 is the most elusive. This coin is a nice example of the coinage representative of the type. At the time of purchase (January 2017) NGC has 4 coins in their census 1@F, 2@VF, 1@40), however, due to the multiple varieties known, it is difficult to know if even 2 of these coins are the same type or different one. Hubbard and O'Harrow variety GO10 and GR10.
Heritage has sold only 2 Hookneck 8 reales from Guanajuato 1825, this one, and an PCGS certified as XF details tooled. Apparently both are form the same variety, and none with a readable “Libertad” on the cap.
From the sale’s catalogue: “Republic "Hookneck" 8 Reales 1825 Go-JJ VF35 NGC, Guanajuato mint, KM-A376.1, DP-Go02. Evenly worn with bold legends and softly struck centers as usual yet free of offensive handling evidence. A wholesome example of this very scarce and popular issue, eminently collectible in this unflawed preservation.
Ex. FoxLair Collection”.
This coin was sold by Heritage previously (2016 April 14 - 19 CICF World Coins & Ancient Coins Signature Auction - Chicago #3046 Lot 32831).

This is a coin that I cannot be missed in any collection of Mexican coins that aspires to be elite. There are 2 varieties of this coin, this is Type II, the rarest of them (the Phrygian cap points to the T, and the snake has a loop on the tail). Both Hubbard and O'Harrow on their book Hookneck, and Long in his book on the gold coins of the Mexican Republc, mentioned that there are maybe less than 24 known coins. And everyone agrees this is a very rare issue for Mexican numismatics. The dies for their mintage were ready until December 24, 1823, so technically they had less than a month to produce these coins. It is interesting that Mr Long in his book, lists all the public sales of 8 escudos for 1823 and only has one listed that showed signs of jewelry use, but it is a Type I, therefore not this coin. Hubbard and O'Harrow list a total of 16 offerings for the Type II coin between 1935 and 1995. Long lists 24 sales for Type II coins between 1935 and 2004. Likely few times the same coins are listed. That has to give an idea of how rare this coin is. The year 1823 was the only one that minted Hookneck 8 escudos.
It is currently housed in an old NCS holder due to the fact that use to be used in jewelry.
From the sale's catalogue: "MEXICO. "Hookneck" 8 Escudos, 1823-Mo JM. Mexico City Mint. NCS VF Details--Removed from Jewelry.
Fr-63; KM-382.2; H/O-pg. 93 Type II. "Hookneck" eagle; type II. A crown jewel for any collection, this is the first appearance of the "Hookneck" eagle gives a glimpse into the future for the designs of the newly established Mexican Republic. A VERY RARE and difficult type to acquire, the prior use in jewelry is of little concern as the opportunities for purchase are so limited. Some scattered marks and light cleaning are observed, but overall detail remains rather robust and it will undoubtedly be hotly contested on account of its great desirability".
