Mexico
Undated (1607-1621) Mexico, Philip III, 4 Reales, Silver Cob, KM37.2
A nice example of this crudely struck cob struck at Mexico City. Surfaces suggest that this is a shipwreck recovery coin. Weight 12.38g
I would grade this coin Fine (Sheldon VF20 details) but I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
For uncertified coins I provide a grading opinion using both the UK descriptive system and the Sheldon scale (based on ANA Grading Standards and/or PCGS Photograde) which will be better known to my US customers. I offer a grading opinion as a courtesy, but please examine the high resolution close up photos carefully and decide on a grade for yourself.
1886 Mo MH Mexico, 8 Reales, Cap & Rays Type, KM377.10
A barely circulated example of this popular crown struck at Mexico City in 0.903 silver. Very light wear to the cap and rays, snake is well defined and eagle's breast feathers are very lightly worn. I would grade this coin Extremely Fine (Sheldon AU58) but I have provided high-resolution close up photos so you can decide on a grade for yourself.
