Ferdinand VI Pillar 8 Reales 1753 LM-J MS62 NGC, Lima mint, KM55.1. A highly demanded early date Peruvian 8 reales from the "J" assayer, with soft gray tone and delicate luster over the pillar side and brighter surfaces on the other that hold several light toning patches. Few post-strike contact marks are observed for the grade and solidify the appearance as premium for the grade. Currently the single finest example of the date graded by NGC, with a single MS62 also being the top grade at PCGS.
Estimate: 1800-2400 USD
