Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1751 So-J MS64 NGC, Santiago mint, KM3, Fr-5. With a nearly prooflike sheen that covers the fields and frosted central designs that have received a definitive strike, leaving the majority of the finer details visible. Some die cracks and metal issues are noted on the reverse, yet these are minor and, if anything, add charm to what clearly amounts to a nearly as-struck coin. A fresh example, with only trivial handling wisps across the obverse that preclude the gem designation.
