Cuzco, South Peru, 8 reales, 1838MS, CONFEDERACION type, encapsulated NGC MS 63, tied for finest known specimen graded by NGC. KM-170.4. Exceptional specimen of a popular 3-year issue with one of the most artistic designs of post-Independence Latin American coinage, this piece highly lustrous and well struck, in fact better than the Whittier example (one of the 2 other known MS 63's) that had a weaker sunface, with just a few minor bagmarks keeping it from higher grade, also with odd die-crack on reverse, really a lovely coin all around and worthy of its lofty status atop the census.
