GUATEMALA, Guatemala City, 8 reales, sun-over-mountains countermark (Type II, 1839) on a Mexico City, Mexico, klippe 8 reales, 1733 MF. KM-107. This attractive coin bears the deepest, boldest countermark we have ever seen (in lower-left quadrant of the cross), punched almost all the way through the flan, in fact twice, the details within no worse than VF but only slightly higher grade than the host, which was nicely centered on a full flan to show a complete date and king's name in addition to all the interior elements, lovely contrasting toning all over, with plugged and repaired holes past three of the points of the cross (just not the top, strangely enough).
