^Lot 672 Argentina (River Plate Provinces), 8 reales, 1836 P, La Rioja mint, PCGS MS64.

Argentina (River Plate Provinces), 8 reales, 1836 P, La Rioja mint, PCGS MS64. Janson-37; KM-20. Unusually sharp details with lustrous fields combine for a beautiful aspect, the only apparent demerit being a small, natural, crust-filled lacuna on the sunface's forehead, tied with one other for second finest in PCGS census behind a single MS64+ and a true equal to Whittier's NGC MS 64 that hammered for $8500 in Heritage last summer. PCGS #28184784.
