Peru: Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1761 LM-JM AU58 NGC,...
Description
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1761 LM-JM AU58 NGC, Lima mint, KM68, Cal-1914, Onza-673 (Very Rare), Fr-24. Small armored bust variety. Adjustment marks are noted, especially on the reverse, but these should not deter buyers looking to scoop up a spectacularly lustrous and finely preserved specimen of this scarce type. In terms of post-striking imperfections, this piece is essentially problem-free with just a slight bit of rub on the high points keeping it on the cusp of Mint State.Ex.
