Guatemala
Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Carlos III 8 Reales 1772-P, KM36.1, XF45 NGC. A fully original coin with aged patina and excellent eye appeal. The obverse shows some light handling on the bust while the reverse is virtually blemish-free. This is the first date of the bust style coinage for Guatemala and is highly elusive in all grades. To find an example in XF is most unexpected. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $800 in VF, $1250 in EF.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
