Mexico
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1766 Mo-MF AU58 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM155, Cal-1990, Onza-752. A rare date, missing in both Gerber and Eliasberg, this near-uncirculated emission offers a satiny expression of luster against uniformly struck features showing no areas of the common weakness often seen with these larger gold types. Clear legends frame the central designs, protecting areas of shimmering golden brilliance. The result is a wholly appealing specimen, which by virtue of its standout quality remains matched but not beaten at the AU58 grade level.
