Description

Charles IV gold 8 Escudos 1794 NG-M AU58 NGC, Nueva Guatemala mint, KM58, Cal-1585, Onza-974 (Very Rare). The conditionally challenging first year-of-issue from this already difficult three-year series, almost universally found in heavily circulated states, with XF typically being the highest grade one could hope to encounter. Indeed, NGC reports having certified just 6 examples of the date, none of which match this piece. Lightly rubbed over the highest points of the design, particularly on Charles' cheek, the reverse appears to be essentially Uncirculated, with original mint brilliance beaming over the surfaces, while signs of serious contact or handling are virtually absent. Notably missing from both the Eliasberg and Norweb collections, and an enviable opportunity for the type collector.
