Lot #74 - Mexico - 1822-Mo 8 reales KM-309 - NGC XF-45
World Coins-Mexico
KM#309, Mexico City mint as are all of this one-year type. Excellent details show on either side and would not lead one to suspect that many of this type are poorly struck. Somewhat pale overall and a little glossy even while charcoal-grey accents remain persistent between peripheral devices.

US Currency-Legal Tender Notes, Large
Often found cut a little askew, this particularly bright example has been almost ideally centered and squared properly when viewed from either side, which means the back of the note is as appealing as the front. Signatures were stamped a little high but are as bold and deep black as can be. A "small tear" as called out by PMG only just barely requires mention because it technically touches a portion of the design (the border line) else it would escape notice. Not mentioned is a tiny dab of greenish residue positioned below the offending "tear" -- the cataloger speculates a staple may have been professionally removed from the edge at some point.
