Watch List notes:

Santiago, Chile, bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1751J, encrusted as from the Luz (1752). CT-72; KM-3. 27.18 grams. Lustrous Mint State details, better struck than most but with patches of dark encrustation all over and with two small pecks in field behind the neck (filled with debris), intriguing as a rare example of encrusted shipwreck gold. From the Luz (1752), and pedigreed to the Thomas Gray collection and formerly displayed at the ANA Money Museum's "Treasures of the Deep" exhibit (2014-15), also pedigreed to our Auction #11, with original lot-tag #103.

Estimate: $4000 - 6000
