- For generations of collectors, the first numismatic reference is the annually published Guide Book of United States Coins (known simply as the Red Book because of its iconic cover). The first coin you encounter in that book is the Mexican "Pillar" dollar, or 8 Reales. This iconic coin was struck from 1732 to 1771, and served as specie in the colonial economy. The entire American monetary system of dollars used the 8 Reales as its model, and much of American Colonial paper money was backed by "Spanish Milled Dollars"--this coin. Spanish colonial coins circulated in day to day transactions as legal tender in the United States until 1857. The coin we are offering here is boldly struck and quite distinctive with a boldly reflective, prooflike luster. A lovely honey-gold with rich amber accents toward the rims add a wonderful depth to the eye appeal. PCGS 3, NGC 4. There are a handful of this date graded finer, but it is unlikely many have this great eye appeal. A great coin for anyone building a set of silver dollar type coins to represent "where it all began." Cert. Number 28140476 PCGS # 670034
