Owner Comments:
One of very few PCGS encapsulated coins in my collection that I have moved to NGC. When I started my 8 reales collecting in 2010, I chose NGC as my primary grading service in large part because the registry allowed sets to include PCGS coins. Unfortunately, this policy was changed for competitive world coin sets in 2012 so it could not appear in my competitive sets until I crossed it in 2017. From the Stack's Bowers August 2012 Philadelphia ANA World's Fair Of Money Auction, Lot# 40684. KM-106.2; FC-62a; El-89. Fully lustrous and choice. Former PCGS MS-61.
