Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1786/74 M-DV MS61 NGC, Madrid mint, cf. KM409.1a (overdate unlisted), Cal-Type 191 (same), Onza-785 (same). A scarce overdate that was unknown until relatively recently, offered here as an impressively preserved, fully Mint State representative with a bold strike. While the obverse fields display an abundance of wisps that define the grade, the reverse is finer than the given designation, presenting an attractive amber tone that grips the satiny peripheries. The coin at hand comes to us as the finest of six submitted to NGC and PCGS and will undoubtedly entice variety collectors of this ever-collectible series.
