The iconic hookneck 8 reales from the early years of the Mexican Republic is pretty expensive in straight grade. This one is beautiful, and shows tremendous strike details for a "polished" example.
Here's a cleaned thaler that I was trying to acquire. These early thalers of Poland are quite scarce in any condition. https://coins.ha.com/itm/poland/pol...04-64361.s?type=bidnotice-tracked-dailystatus
I don't mean to revive this thread but I think I have taken a better photo of my hookneck to show off how a cleaned coin with great eye appeal can be a worthy addition to a collection.
