CHILE. 8 Escudos, 1761-So J. Santiago Mint. Charles III. NGC AU-55.
KM-20; Onza-899 ("rara"). Well-struck and free of planchet flaws, this coin showcases dramatic eye-appeal throughout that results from bright tone in the fields and mirror-like flash around the protected legends. A blend of handling and small contact marks help to determine the grade, however their even placement allows for minimal impact on the appearance. Certainly one the most attractive survivors of the date, with four examples (only one of which is MS) exceeding this coin in the combined NGC and PGGS population reports.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
Estimate: $3000.00- $4000.00
