GUATEMALA. 8 Reales, 1764-P. Charles III (1759-88). NGC AU-55.KM-27.1; FC-13; Gil-G-8-13. VERY RARE in this state of preservation from a popular and desirable mint. Normally found in low or impaired condition with higher grade example extremely difficult to obtain. Sharply struck with the fine details on both the obverse and reverse visible without the aid of magnification. Attractive glossy slate grey tone with hints of blue iridescence in the protected areas and medium grey in some of the open fields. Sure to excite even the most advance collector of Guatemala or Spanish Colonial coinage.From the Richard Stuart Collection.
