Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1757 So-J MS62+ NGC, Santiago mint, KM3. Nearly the peak of quality for this scarce later type, with just one MS63 in NGC's census as its technical superior. However, when one admires this specimen's abundant flashy luster playing atop its sleek surfaces, the comparative lack of contact marks and the sharp centrally struck planchet, it is easy to consider it conservatively graded. Lemon-gold in color with much gloss to the peripheries drawing the eye, Ferdinand's portrait razor-sharp and without significant rub. The last example of this date we handled was graded AU53 and realized $4,800 in our January sale, and we do not doubt that collector enthusiasm for this far finer selection will generate premium bidding.
Ex. UBS Auction 70 (21 March 2007, Lot 453)
