Lot of two Mexican cap-and-rays 8R and 2R from the "New Orleans hoard," as follows: Zacatecas 8R 1838OM, Mexico City 2R 1827JM. 9-1/2" x 13" (fully open). Lustrous XF-AU, the 8R with corrosion at rims but rainbow toned, both recovered in 1982 from one of two wooden boxes uncovered by a construction operation that led to businesspeople and passerby digging in the mud for coins (see lot 262 in this auction for a US 25c from the same hoard). With 1986 certificates and housed in a Blanchard promotional wallet.
