Charles III gold "Order on Chest" 8 Escudos 1761 Mo-MM AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM154, Onza-743. Order-on-chest variety. This special issue was produced only in 1761, rendering the date a must-have for collectors seeking to fill a gap in any type-based collection. The strike is uniform and appealing, showing only a hint of softness on the lower right of the reverse shield, while bright aurous luster beams from the protected areas of the legends, surrounded by sharp rims that provide a pleasing frame for the design. Not a single example grades Mint State across both NGC and PCGS combined, placing this specimen firmly near the peak of the certified population.
