<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YoloBagels, post: 7877212, member: 94739&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>Yesterday evening this arrived in the mail after 2 weeks of waiting (Fedex 2 day shipping).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s my first serious Mexican coin and will be part of my registry set someday. It&#039;s also the most I&#039;ve spent on a single coin so far, so also a personal record-setter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here it is. PCGS MS66, 1861 Mo C.H. two reales.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1357930[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is attributed to the Torres hoard. The hoard was said to consist of 150-175 coins and was completely made up of high MS 1861 Mo-CH 2 reales. PCGS lists 80 of these coins with 25 in MS66, 5 in 67, and one in 67+.</p><p><br /></p><p>These numbers sound high until you realize how many times these coins have been resubmitted (Two of the three PCGS plate coins are the same coin). Even still, it makes you wonder where the rest of the coins could be.</p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of coins from the hoard have brown-orange toning. Several pieces, however, exhibit blue rainbow contrast. This coin is one of the most eye-appealing of the hoard in my opinion. It has deep mirror PL fields on the reverse and a strong blue rainbow hue on the obverse. The coins of this hoard appear to be struck in an early die state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for reading!</p><p>-Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
