Softly stroke, this coin condition is just as the day it left the mint. At the time of purchase (February 2022), PCGS has graded 9 coins with this one being the only one at 64+ and none higher, hence PCGS Top Pop. NGC has graded 9 coins too, but has one at 66.
Richard long described this issue as one of the commonest half escudos for the Mexico City mint. In this condition, however, it is quite desirable and a condition rarity.
