Watch List notes:

Mexico
Charles III gold "Order at Date" 8 Escudos 1761 Mo-MM AU55 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM153, Onza-742. Order at date variety. The single second-highest grade specimen of this rarer variety featuring Charles's Order of the Golden Fleece in the legend next to the date. A very popular and scarce type currently unknown in Mint State, rendering upper-tier AU examples the finest available for grade-conscious collectors. This piece shows pleasing strike detail with limited high-point rub, considerable luster illuminating the margins. Very warmly colored golden centers have been attractively framed through an encroachment of deep red tone blending with the peripheral gleam. A most desirable example of seldom-seen quality.
From the Anastasia Collection
