While doing some searches, I ran across Craig Keplinger's website with a couple of slabbed 8 Reales - an 1811 Mo-HJ in PCGS AU50 and an 1812 Mo-JJ in NGC AU58. Both were reasonably priced but lacked pictures, so I emailed Craig. Within a few hours he e-mailed me the pictures of both coins in their slabs and to my surprise the 1811 was the 1811/0 variety, and a crusty one, too! I called him right after and after a chat, he gave a break on the price for buying both. Very friendly guy. Looking forward to meeting him in Chicago one of these days.

 

The 1811/0 is Calbeto-864 and cataloged as rare. PCGS certified only one of these and two at NGC. This overdate comes-up from time to time in the auctions, but this is the first original looking AU example I've seen in a number of years.

 

Hope you like 'em crusty:
