Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1763 LM-JM MS61 NGC, Lima mint, KM70, Onza-676. Finest certified quality for this coveted "Rat Nose" date, displaying impressive sharpness throughout the design and vivid golden brilliance in the fields. Like many Peruvian 8 escudos from this period however, the flan on this piece was produced imperfectly, resulting in a lamination error that crosses the right obverse field. If not for this as-made error, this piece would have certainly achieved an even loftier grade.
