Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1762 Mo-MM AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM155, Onza-744. Utterly sharp and incredibly lustrous for the type, with mild highpoint wear and typical handling effects that are associated with the given designation. Notable as the first date of this scarce "rat-nose" issue, and one that remains elusive at all levels of presentation, currently bested by two other examples (both AU58), with no representatives of this date having been certified in a Mint State classification.
