8 Reales Madness - Complete Variety 的钱币相册
Yonaka-M8-72 - Lustrous and attractive example of this first year issue with armored bust of Charles III. Mintmark and assayers' initials (FM) facing rim, which is only seen on issues 1772-1773
Yonaka-M8-72a - first dies of the Portrait Series with apparent confusion at the Mint as to how to place assayer's initials in the new design. Scarce variety MF instead of FM. Nice luster with a few small hairlines as expected for the grade. Acquired from World Numismatics and previously housed in an NGC AU55 holder.
Yonaka-M8-74 - Lustrous and original with beautiful cabinet toning. Currently the best example of this date certified as the only MS example at PCGS with only 3 others at NGC, but all in lower grades (60-62).
Yonaka-M8-74 - Fantastic color with just a hint of friction. The least abundant normal type in the 1772-1821 8 Reales Portrait series.
Yonaka-M8-76 - One of the most original examples of this date ever encountered. Pedigreed to Archer M. Huntington Collection.
Yonaka-M8-77a - 1777/6 - A nice clear example of this Rare (R2) over-date pedigreed to Paul Rutherford's collection.
Yonaka-M8-80 - An attractive, high-end example with a great strike and wonderful color starting to develop around the periphery. One of the first coins graded with a "plus" designation in 2010 and one of only 6 AU58's worthy of a plus across the entire Mexico Colonial Milled 8 Reales series.
Yonaka-M8-81 - Neat coin with letter R in GRATIA appearing to have been struck over a previous letter, perhaps a G. There are also numerous micro chopmarks present that seems to have escaped the graders, with one being placed directly in Carlos III's eye.
Yonaka-M8-83a - A well-traveled and rare (R2) variety with assayer initials FM. There's a belief that most of these ended-up in China as part of the 19th Century silver trade and that's why the few examples that do surface often contain chopmarks.
Yonaka-M8-84a - The wholesome and attractive example displays lovely rich cabinet patina with iridescent hues that pop out when tilted in the light. This lightly circulated example offers even wear with much remaining luster in the protected areas. Pleasing to the eye and wholly original looking, this handsome example is sure to be a welcome addition to the collection. Ex NGC AU58
Yonaka-M8-85 - Best certified example of this date. Ex Morton & Eden's March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection. Part of lot #365. Ex HSA 1001.1.850
Yonaka-M8-86 - A fantastic specimen superbly toned in shades of golden orange, indigo and rose on the obverse, with cool silvery blue and sea green on the reverse. Ex Morton & Eden’s March 2013 sale of the Archer M. Huntington Collection, one of three coins offered in lot #365. While not the highest graded at PCGS with one other coin in MS63, it does, in my opinion, possess superior eye-appeal to that specimen (cert# 17233896)
Yonaka-M8-87 - Toned with lustrous blue and rose highlights among devices. Pedigreed to Archer M. Huntington collection and previously residing in an NGC61 holder.
Yonaka-M8-89-IV - A very special coin with legitimate claims to an MS grade (ex:NGC MS62). Slight strike weakness on the bust, as often seen in this series, with an incredibly mirrored obverse exterior.
Yonaka-M8-91 - Fantastic strike, color and luster. ex: NGC63
Yonaka-M8-93 - Gorgeous strike, color and luster on this fully uncirculated coin. The fact that it's in an AU58 holder is a travesty that will be addressed in the future. Ex: Mike Dunigan 2023 UsMexNA Show in Arizona.
Yonaka-M8-94 - Great coin with pristine surfaces, original skin and luster. Previously in an NGC MS64 holder (6269013-010/64).
Yonaka-M8-95a (plate coin) - Cataloged as R3 in Yonaka with only 1 other example observed of this rare over-date.
Yonaka-M8-95 - Lustrous coin with gentle rose toning.
Yonaka-M8-96 - Pristine surfaces with just enough rub on high points to warrant an AU grade.
Yonaka-M8-97 - Nice lustrous coin with a bit of secondary toning.
Yonaka-M8-100 - Deeply toned MS. Seeing this piece makes you instantly imagine an old mahogany cabinet with beautiful coins carefully resting atop velvet-lined shelves for decades.
Yonaka-M8-101a - A rare (R3) overdate variety. A well-circulated, gray toned example that nevertheless has not received any significant marks. Ex: Phil Rutherford's Collection.
Yonaka-M8-101 - Fully lustrous MS with just a touch of color. Previously in an NGC MS64 holder.
Yonaka-M8-101c - Amazing example of this over-assayer variety with largely gunmetal grey toning on the obverse and a vividly colorful and lustrous reverse. Previously in an NGC MS63 holder.
Yonaka-M8-101b - pristine example of this date with slight cabinet friction on high points

Yonaka-M8-105 - Amazing coin full of satiny sheen pedigreed to Blackhawk Collection
Yonaka-M8-106 - Lustrous example with attractive color. Ex: NGC MS63
Yonaka-M8-108a - Nice original example of this tough (R3) over-date variety. Interesting oddity on the obverse that shows a small ladder pattern on the bust, pointing to something being already on the planchet when truck (perhaps an overstrike, which would be very unusual for the series)
Yonaka-M8-107 - Nice colorful and lustrous example of this common date. Remains of the die clash evident especially on the reverse.
Yonaka-M8-108a - The overdate appears as a strong diagonal line through the lower loop of the "8". A wholesome example with barely perceptible circulation marks, flashy reverse luster, and traces of almond toning in the peripheries. Ex: Phil Rutherford's Collection.
Yonaka-M8-108 - Good strike with attractive light iridescent tone, strong underlying luster and quite good eye appeal.
Yonaka-M8-108-VII - Gorgeous example of this abundant date in the Ferdinand VII Armored Bust series. Type A portrait, which is the most likely candidate for the first portrait design, as it occurs most frequently in 1808 and less so in 1809. This is also a sub-type with Ferdinand's mouth slightly open. An overall pleasing coin with a multicolored patina.
Yonaka-M8-109, Calbeto-859 - Type A portrait. Highly lustrous with a beautiful golden tone.
Yonaka-M8-109a, Calbeto-861 - Much more scarce combination of assayer initials. Type C portrait. A beautiful, lustrous example of this distinctive issue, with a lovely original skin and delicate pull-away toning above the lettering.
Yonaka - Unlisted, but confirmed with Brad. TH/HJ over-assayer and a different die pairing to the previously documented discovery piece. Rarity is unknown, but based on my personal observations - roughly in an R3 range.
Yonaka-M8-110c, Calbeto-861a - No image and only described as "rare" in Calbeto and Scarce in Yonaka. Re-worked dies with a few re-punched elements. Strike weakness as often seen with 1809-1810 coins of this mint.
Yonaka-M8-110 - A presentable and well struck example of this scarcer assayer combination. Ex: Phil Rutherford's Collection
Yonaka-M8-110b - Graders missed this over-assayer HJ over TH. R2 rarity. Well-struck for the issue, this crown exhibits a bright sheen on its inky-gray surfaces.
Yonaka-M8-110a, Calbeto-863 - With lovely coin gray color and pretty sea green, rose and golden orange toning on the obverse and reverse. Pedigreed to Blackhawk Collection
Yonaka-M8-111a - A flashy and pleasing uncirculated example of this bold overdated type, with traces of almond and russet toning on both sides. Ex: Phil Rutherford's Collection.
Yonaka-M8-111, Calbeto-865 - Beautiful patina. Weak strike and some reverse planchet defects.
Yonaka-M8-111b, Calbeto-unlisted - extremely rare (R3) over-assayer with only a couple of known examples.
Yonaka-M8-112 - Scarcer of the two assayer combinations for this year. Dark toning with colorful undertones on the reverse. Slight strike weakness that held this coin from a higher grade. Previously in an NGC MS63 holder.
Yonaka-M8-112a, Calbeto-870 - Nice coin with moderate luster and some toning. 61 grade is just odd for this one.
Yonaka-M8-114, Calbeto-875 - Very scarce example of an 1814/3 with assayer initials HJ (Henrique B. Azorin and Joaquin Davila Madrid). With less than 10 pieces known, this is the true rarity in the Ferdinand VII draped bust series. Purchased in 2011 in Barcelona as a part of Jose Leunda collection sale. Pedigree noted on the holder. Nice original example with some minor planchet defects and stress marks. Previously in an NGC VF35 holder.

Yonaka-M8-117, Calbeto-884 - Beautiful color and a nice variety with the first 1 in date re-punched and moved to the right with the traces of the previous digit still showing. From the Plus Ultra sale by Soler Y Llach. Previously Carlos Fuster, March 1988.

Yonaka-M8-119, Calbeto-887 - Single finest of the date at either NGC or PCGS as of August 2019. A superior representative of the type with lovely smokey golden-grey tone over the lustrous fields with areas in the peripheries that exhibit rich multicolored patina.
