Spanish colony, Peru, Lima mint, King Charles III, 8 Reales, 1770-LM JM without dots above L in mint marks. 27g, 0.9170 silver, .7980 oz actual silver weight. KM# 64.3. Good very fine ~ nearly extremely fine, some minor surface abrasions. Very rare. Ex Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. In Krause SCWC, 1770 without dot variety are Rare without price reference, compare to KM#64.1 with dot above both L mint mark, and KM# 64.2 with dot above left mint mark only are common varieties. According to Frank Gilboy, this is a very scarce variety. From the market information (auctions, dealers and collectors), I still cannot see any similar variety up to now, except this example.
