PERU. 8 Reales, 1780-LM MJ. Lima Mint. Charles III. NGC MS-62.
KM-78. The finest of seven graded for the date at NGC, with only one other even attaining Mint State status (MS-60), this argent specimen dazzles with a good deal of brilliance and fairly clean fields. For completeness, a die crack is noted in front of the king's bust, as well as one running through a portion of the obverse legend.
Ex: Ponterio 148 (1/2009) Lot # 1939.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
