Watch List notes:

Lima, Peru, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1787 IJ, NGC AU 58 ("top pop"). KM-82.1a; Cal-1952; Fr-32. Lustrous example of the scarcer of two assayers for this date, a bit weakly struck on the bust with a few lamination flaws but otherwise bright and well detailed, tied with one other for finest known in the NGC census.


Estimate: 1750 - 2500 USD
