MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1770-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Charles III. NGC MS-62.
Fr-29; KM-155. "Rat Nose" type. The sole certified Mint State example of the date and tied for second finest certified of the type on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, only one finer (NGC MS 65). This VERY RARE and ever popular issue has much to offer displaying lustrous satiny surfaces and frosted devices combined with a pleasing pale gold color adding to its eye appeal. Examples from this series of Mexican numismatics are always heavily sought after commanding strong participation from serious collectors when they enter the numismatic community. Seldom do survivors of this caliber come up for sale on the open market drawing much attention from Colonial and Onza collectors alike, a fantastic representative of the type destined for an advanced collection of a discerning collector.

Ex: Rudman Collection (Heritage 8/2015) Lot # 21242 @ $28,000 (plus buyers fee).

Estimate: $15000.00- $25000.00
