The first specimen was lot 1101 in Goldberg sale 46 (Beverly Hills, May 2008), where it sold for $1,450. The catalog description noted[1], "Mexico. 8 Reales, 1790-Mo-FM (Mexico City). Charles IV, 1788-1808. 'Imaginary' bust of Charles IV right. Reverse: Crowned arms between pillars. Very slight weakness at cheek of portrait, otherwise finely struck and very lustrous. Fields prooflike, and lightly toned. NGC graded MS-60 Prooflike." This date is no scarcer than preceding or succeeding dates but brings a premium from type collectors seeking an example of the transitional bust.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
Specification: 27.07 g, 0.896 fine silver, .780 troy oz ASW.
