COLOMBIA. 8 Escudos, 1763-NR JV. Nuevo Reino Mint. Charles III. NGC MS-62.
KM-41; Onza-848; Restrepo-71.2. Spectacular quality for the type, this coin was struck on a choice, problem-free planchet with designs that are wonderfully detailed, illustrating an expressive portrait of Charles III and a boldly segmented shield on the reverse. On both sides, faint orange-reddish tone appears around portions of the legends, while dynamic luster pushes the appearance to rarified heights, as the slightly textured surfaces emit a jewel-like sparkle when rotated beneath a light. Altogether, an immaculate and superbly pedigreed coin -- and the single finest graded at NGC or PCGS. It should generate immense excitement among collectors of elite Latin American types.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
