MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1761-Mo MM. Mexico City Mint. Charles III. NGC EF Details--Obverse Spot Removed.
Fr-25; KM-154; Onza-743. Variety with Order of the Golden Fleece on chest, struck only in this year. Some faint doubling of the obverse is noted, and the only strike weakness is seen on the reverse shield center. Upon close inspection we note fine scratching from long ago in and around "REX" as indicated on the NGC insert as "Obverse Spot Removed" that becomes apparent when rotating in the light. Despite its shortcoming this elusive type is always a collector favorite exhibiting a well-detailed obverse with faint orange-peel toning in the peripheries.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
