Guatemala, gold bust 8 escudos, Charles III, 1778 P, small date, rare, NGC AU 53. JP-8E29; Cal-1909; KM-40; Fr-10. A worthy start to this unprecedented offering of Guatemala bust gold coins, which were only struck in certain years and in very small quantities, hence all rare. While this is probably the least rare of the four known dates of the Charles III proper-bust type (the others being 1781, 1783, and 1785), it is in rather high grade (one three finer at NGC in AU 55 at NGC, with none in MS) and is well struck with full rims and no problems, just a light, even wear on lusterless surfaces. For a type coin, this can't be beat.
