PERU. North Peru. 8 Reales, 1839-LM MB. Lima Mint. PCGS AU-58 Gold Shield. KM-164. The only certified example of the date on the PCGS population report. An attractive example of this one-year type with somewhat flat central strike, a commonly encountered occurrence on coins of this era displaying attractive pervasive gray patina with areas of richer coloration. Vastly superior to what is normally seen in the marketplace, this survivor offers a pleasing appearance indicative of prolong storage undisturbed and is sure to be a welcome addition to the next collection it enters.
