PERU. 8 Escudos, 1783-LM MI. Lima Mint. Charles III. NGC MS-62.
KM-82.1; Onza-708. Magnificent quality, showcasing crisp detail through the designs with surrounding surfaces that are intensely lustrous. Like many of the coins that were dispersed from Eliasberg's holdings, this piece also displays rich orange-gold tone at the rims, which is indicative of its method of storage over decades. Unsurprisingly, it is the single finest example of the date certified by NGC or PCGS and is among the finest known of the type, with only two examples (both 63s) having been grading higher. A RARE opportunity as such, considering this coin has the combination of quality, eye-appeal and an exceptional pedigree on its side.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
