<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanTheRussian, post: 2611355, member: 7539&quot;]Of course it all depends on your definition of &quot;rare&quot;. I have a number of varieties in my set that have a population of 1/0 in all grades at PCGS but it&#039;s a reflection of the collector base certifying these varieties (not very popular). However, here&#039;s one that has a pop 2 in all grades at PCGS and a truly rare (I would guess based on my research that less than 10 are known, especially in problem-free condition)</p><p><br /></p><p>Mexico 1814/3-HJ 8 Reales in PCGS VF35. Ex: Jose Leunda collection. In 1814 there was a change in the second assayer at Mexico City Mint and Henrique Azorin (assayer H) was replaced by Jose Garcia Ansaldo (assayer J). Joaquin Davila Madrid (assayer J) continued on. The assayer combination HJ was minted very briefly in 1814 and was replaced by JJ (which is a common coin). There was only one obverse die used with HJ initials and that die shows an overdate 1814/3.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/secureplus/25121130_large.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
