The first specimen was lot 73358 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, June 2020), where it sold for $192. The catalog description[1] noted, "PERU. 4 Reales, 1767-LM JM. Lima Mint. Charles III. NGC VF Details--Harshly Cleaned. Though exhibiting the noted rather harsh cleaning, this minor remains rather elusive and difficult to encounter."
