Mexico - Five Spanish Colonial type coins

Lot Title:	Mexico - Five Spanish Colonial type coins
Lot Number:	183
Description:	Big Sky Collection. ANACS has certified a 1796-Mo FM 8-reales as AU-50/cleaned, and it has been a bit harshly mistreated although considerable detail remains. PCGS certified the remaining quartet, including an 1808-Mo TH 8-reales with graffiti (cataloger's grade: [VF/minor scratch]). This coin shows a relatively small test-mark "X" in the obverse right field else it would be a fully attractive example. Remaining small-denominations include: 1737-Mo MF 1/2-reales, cataloger's grade: [XF/minor surface roughness] (surprisingly attractive and high contrast), 1741-Mo MF 1-real (XF-40, lead-grey with tan undertones and some uneven surface texture), and 1750-Mo M, cataloger's grade: [fine/counterpunch], showing a dig at the lower central obverse. Five coin lot.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
