Watch List notes:

Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1704 H, ISPANIAR variety, rare, NGC AU 58, ex-1715 Fleet. S-L25a; KM-38.1; Cal-2111. 26.84 grams. Perfectly round flan with choice, full and well-centered cross-lions-castles inside full legend, the pillars-and-waves also full and bold but slightly off-center, with full crown above, traces of light sediment on fields, maybe just lacking in the luster usually required for an MS grade from NGC, rare early date and an interesting variety (Tauler 223a, unlisted in Calico's La Onza) with cross-side legend ending in ISPANIAR (no H), an aspect more commonly seen in the following years (1705-8). From the 1715 Fleet and pedigreed to the John Pullin collection (stated on label).
