Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1761 NR-JV MS63 NGC, Nuevo Reino mint, KM38.1, Onza-844. Very likely the finest surviving example of this date that features the old bust style of Ferdinand VI with the updated ordinals of Charles III. Attributes worthy of note on this coin include a bold, even strike, vivid luster that intermingles with flashy tone and the absence of any imperfections in the planchet. While one or even two of these elements sometimes present themselves in 8 escudos from this period, the combination of the three is a true rarity. Not surprisingly, it's also the single finest graded example of the date in the combined NGC and PCGS population reports. An immense opportunity thus.
