Charles IV gold 8 Escudos 1801/797 NG-M AU53 NGC, Guatemala City mint, KM58, Onza-977. An extremely rare and rather dramatic overdate in which the entire date 1801 was struck over the previous issue, 1797, the error clearly represented on this specimen. Lightly circulated with some flattening to the high points, its peripheries glistening with residual luster and the entire planchet an appealing lemon-gold in color. Almost impossible to obtain in higher grades, the last example of this year we handled was graded AU55 and realized $14,000 hammer in our January 2014 sale. Accordingly, interest is sure to be comparable for this similarly preserved AU53 piece.
