Watch List notes:

Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1710H, from the 1715 Fleet, with hand-signed Fisher certificate, encapsulated MGC MS 63. S-L25a; KM-38.2; CT-21. 26.88 grams. Incredibly broad flan with full legends (bold full date) and crown and inner details, choice and lustrous (tied for highest grade in NGC census) with one small weak spot to left of pillars, also tiny edge-split, otherwise one of the nicest Lima 8E we have ever seen and surely a candidate for finest known for this first issue to bear a second date in the legend. Curiously, it appears that the E of REX in the legend is punched over a "backwards" (rotated 180 degrees) E. From the 1715 Fleet, with original cardboard holder and small, hand-signed Fisher certificate dated September 9, 1966.

Estimate: $15000 - 30000
