Chile
Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1817 So-FJ MS63 NGC, Santiago mint, KM78. A premium example of this late Spanish Colonial Chilean 8 escudos with wispy handling, primarily on the reverse, that defines the grade, but far above-average luster and a bold strike that propels the eye-appeal to seldom reached heights. For those type collectors that place strike quality among the highest priorities in their coin buying decisions, this coin should stand out as a compelling candidate, with few examples from this series equaling the sharpness seen on this coin.
Estimate: 3000-4000 USD
