PERU. 8 Escudos, 1776-LM MJ. Lima Mint. Charles III. NGC AU-55.Fr-32; KM-82.1. A particularly strongRARE /strongissue struck in the year of Americas signing the Declaration of Independence, this type is almost never encountered so attractive. Rather accordingly, this is the sole example at this level in the NGC census, with just one specimen graded finer. Compare to a similar piece, an NGC AU-50, which realized a hammer of $2,400 in our 2019 ANA auction (lot 21455).
