Lot 1
Mexico. 1753-Mo M. 1/2 Real. PCGS graded MS-64. One of the most available coins during the colonial period were the pillar coinages of Mexico. As we know, there were few issues available in most of the colonies, and circulating coins were a hodge podge of foreign issues, as well as some local coins, when they were available at all. Often transactions were done by barter, as no one had any coinage for transactions. This little coin is about the size of a dime, shows the familiar pillars on the obverse, and has boldly struck devices. Light tawny gold toning on both sides, and struck from rusted dies.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
