Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1767 LM-JM MS62 NGC, Lima mint, KM70, Cal-1920, Onza-681 (Very Rare). Rat-nose bust type. The penultimate date that saw the use of this coveted portrait type at the Lima mint, and a survivor that vastly exceeds the quality that could usually be expected for the issue. Both the single finest selection for the year yet certified and one of a mere three examples to yet be awarded Mint State status, this specimen possesses a pervasiveness of watery texture that instantly elevates it above the competition. Precluded from an even higher designation by scattered contact and light wisps in the fields, the fact that the offering has survived without evidence of serious circulation or damage is on the whole remarkable. Missing from both the Eliasberg and Sellschopp collections, and an opportunity not to be missed.
