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-M8-100 - 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-M8-103c - One of the most elusive major varieties of the series. It should be noted that no known example with FM initials is confirmed for the previous year (on the 8 Reales), though it does occur in 1803 of the 4 Reales. This coin appeared in the June 1981 The Money Company sale where it was authenticated by the anti-counterfeiting committee of the IAPN and Mr Ferran Calico Jr. of Ferran & Xavier Calico in Barcelona. Later the authenticity was confirmed by NGC and the coin holdered in a Genuine "Details" holder. Update October 2024: Performed XRF testing on the coin and verified the correct composition for Mexico City Mint during the colonial period (460ppm Gold in the alloy) Update December 2024: Crossed to PCGS

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.
