^Lot 1317 PERU, Lima, pillar 8 reales, Charles III, 1772 JM, dot over left mintmark only, NGC MS 60.

PERU, Lima, pillar 8 reales, Charles III, 1772 JM, dot over left mintmark only, NGC MS 60. KM-64.2; Cal-1034; Yonaka-L8.72. A choice example of Lima's scarce last date of pillars, with excellent luster and light toning toward rims, bold strike and perhaps lightly hairlined but certainly better in appearance than just MS 60, also with evidence of die-clash on pillars side, in any case second finest in the NGC census behind a single MS 62. Note: This lot is the perfect companion for lot 1319 below, a bust-type version of the same date in similar choice quality.
