PERU. 8 Escudos, 1826-LM JM. Lima Mint. NGC MS-61.
KM-148.1; Onza-2088. Showcasing undiminished luster throughout, this piece displays bold central details, with some typical production crudeness, which includes instances of strike doubling and softness around the legends as well as a few planchet adjustments and laminations. Despite its as-made imperfections, it is far better than nearly all survivors of this significantly underrated type, with a total of nine examples certified between NGC and PCGS for all dates! Of those, this coin is the single finest and only one certified Mint State.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
Estimate: $2500.00- $3500.00
