Bogota, Colombia, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1776JJ, dot between J's, PCGS MS64, finest known. Restrepo-72.12; KM-50.1; Cal-2103. Choice strike (more comparable to mainland Spanish issues than with cruder Colombia issues) with full luster and lack of wear, no more than trivial faint marks in obverse fields, finest on record by far as the only Mint State example at PCGS with only a single MS 60 at NGC coming anywhere close in quality, also desirable date for US collectors. PCGS #38216543.
