Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1723/1 (Aqueduct)-F MS62 NGC, Segovia mint, KM326, Cal-155. Visually sublime, unveiling surfaces glowing with cascading golden luster and bearing mild reflectivity in the fields that only enhances the presentation of the fully impressed features. The peripheries retain an almost scalloped appearance, a result of the high-profile edge pattern which is visible to both the obverse and reverse, providing a fitting frame for the utter quality expressed throughout. A single contact mark to the right of the "Escudo" on the obverse likely serves as the sole factor preventing a higher grade, though this feature, fortunately both shallow and toned over, remains of little consequence to the utter charm of this selection.
