Lima, Peru, cob 8 escudos, 1711M, from the 1715 Fleet, encapsulated NGC MS 64 (highest grade certified for ANY Lima cob 8E). S-L28; KM-38.2; CT-22. Choice bold strike with superior centering and luster, much legend (including king's ordinal V), noteworthy as the ONLY Lima cob 8E of Philip V certified at this top grade. Amazingly, the cross side of this 1711 is struck from the same die as the 1710 in the previous lot! For whatever reason, this date of Lima 8E always shows just ANO in the legend without any room for a second date (don't even try to find one!). From the 1715 Fleet (as stated inside the slab), with Fisher photo-certificate #PC08-31151.
