Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1778 Mo-FF MS61 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM156.2. A remarkable offering, the joint highest graded specimen of this high denomination by either NCG or PCGS (the only other known MS61 example realized $10,000 hammer at a 2017 auction). The fields of this fabulous pineapple-gold example exhibit a glossy luster usually seen in proofs, light contact marks present but not obtrusive, whilst the devices remain boldly rendered and exceptionally well-struck. Truly, an example for the discerning collector of the Mexican series.
