Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1777 M-PJ MS63+ NGC, Madrid mint, KM409.1, Onza-720. From a highly elusive series (with all dates of this issue regarded as "Rare" or higher in the Onza reference), this 8 Escudos boasts the highest certification of any in either NGC or PCGS's databases and is indisputably choice for the grade, recognized by NGC through the 'plus' designation. Absolutely no high-point wear distracts from the razor-sharp strike, Charles's portrait as fresh and crisp as the day it was produced; the fields exhibit extremely few contact marks, evident of a coin which saw no circulation or mishandling whatsoever. Quite frankly, one is unable to upgrade on a piece of this quality, and we expect extreme interest from collectors of the Spanish numismatic series.
