Charles IV gold 8 Escudos 1801 Mo-FM MS62 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM159, Onza-1034. The finest graded example of this date/assayer combination at either NGC or PCGS and more importantly, a coin that exhibits elite eye-appeal, with outstanding prooflike gleam in the fields and no individual instances of handling that attract the eye's attention. Slight incompleteness is observed in the center of the reverse shield, but it is typical of the issue, and has little influence on the overall appearance. Worthy of a strong bid.
