Description
1762 Carlos III 8 Escudos
Scarce and Collectible Type
Carlos III gold 8 Escudos 1762 LM-JM, KM68, Fr-24, XF45 NGC.
Two-year type. Moderately circulated but highly appealing because
of its originality, the present coin has antique orange-gold tone
that haloes the devices and legends and gives a touch of flash to
the surfaces. Several ghosted planchet striations are noted in the
centers and one minor lamination is spotted near the reverse crown,
but these striking issues are incredibly common for the type.
Minimal post-strike marks exist. A scarce and popular type, this
coin will certainly please its next owner.Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
