This specimen was lot 892 in Classical Numismatic Group's sale of the Lissner Collection (Chicago, August 2014), where it sold for $6,352.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "SPAIN, Reino de España. Carlos IV. 1788-1808. AR 8 Reales. Madrid mint. Francesco Herrera and Antonio Goycoechea, assayers. Dated 1808 M FA. In NGC encapsulation graded MS 65. Gem with fully satin luster under light amber-charcoal patina. Highest ever graded for the date and type. Purchased from Louis Collins, December 1992." This type is recorded in the SCWC from Madrid for 1788-1808. All are scarce compared to the enormous output of the Latin American mints. The bust type was introduced to the Spanish mints in 1772.
