Mexico
Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1743/2 Mo-MF MS62 NGC, Mexico City mint, cf. KM148 (overdate unlisted), Cal-138, Onza-440 (Very Rare). An exceedingly difficult overdate for this denomination, apparently missing from both the Eliasberg and Rudman collections, with this being the first example we have seen. Brilliantly lustrous and semi-Prooflike in the fields--die polish filling the recesses of the design--this is only the second example we have been able to locate coming to auction in recent years, the last bringing over $10,000 in December 2016.
