Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1747 MF, NGC MS 64,

Mexico City, Mexico, pillar 8 reales, Philip V, 1747 MF, NGC MS 64, finest known in NGC census, ex-Rudman. Cal-1472; KM-103. Very frosty with mirrorlike luster and sharp full details, parts of rims slightly crude due to minor centering issues but otherwise as nice as they come, an exceptional grade (just one finer at PCGS in MS65), also interesting as a posthumous issue. Pedigreed to the Isaac Rudman Numismatic Cabinet and to Heritage Auction #3054 (lot 31029).
