PERU 1773 LIMA JM 8 ESCUDOS CHARLES III (much rarer than the Charles IVth), CERTIFIED & GRADED NGC 55!!! FINEST KNOWN OF ONLY 5 EVER GRADED BY NGC!!!  I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE BRIGHT GOLD LUSTER THIS COIN HAS THROUGHOUT TO DO IT JUSTICE!  ALSO, THE CENTERING IS EXCELLENT AND THE STRIKE IS STRONG!  HOWEVER, THE PICTURE DOES NOT REFLECT THE TRUE RELIEF THAT CAN BE SEEN IN THE NOSE AND THE MOUTH PORTION OF THE COIN, WHICH HAVE EXTREMELY HIGH RELIEF.  AS COLLECTORS USUALLY KNOW, THE CHARLES III's ARE MUCH TOUGHER TO PROCURE FOR COLLECTIONS THAN THE CHARLES THE IV AND MUCH RARER OVER THE FERDINAND VII's.  THE TRANSITION YEAR WAS 1788-89 (CHARLES III TO CHARLES IV).  A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GET SUCH AN ELUSIVE YEAR GRADED SO HIGH! ESPECIALLY SINCE ONLY 5 HAVE EVER BEEN GRADED AND THIS IS THE FINEST KNOWN FOR ALL COLLECTORS (AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COLLECTORS, COLLECTING BY DATE).
