Guatemala, pillar 8 reales, Charles III, 1765P, encapsulated NGC AU 50. CT-814; KM-27.1. Gunmetal-gray toning on lustrous fields with high points weakly struck (easily mistaken for wear, which is minimal on this specimen, as we feel AU 58 is more accurate), strong adjustment marks on both sides, broad flan, overall a rather nice specimen of this key date and important rarity, in fact tied for second finest in NGC census behind a single (and presumably incredible) MS 64. NGC #4485222-003.
