MEXICO. 8 Escudos, 1750-Mo MF. Mexico City Mint. Ferdinand VI. NGC MS-61.
KM-150; Onza-600. Once recovered from a shipwreck, this piece displays soft granular surfaces, yet it easily ranks among the very finest we've seen of the type, with tremendous detail appearing over Ferdinand's bust and only slight lack of crispness within the reverse shield. Presently tied with one other for the finest of the date seen by either NGC or PCGS.
From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
Estimate: $5000.00- $8000.00
