Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1753/2 LM-J MS61 NGC, Lima mint, KM50, cf. Onza-604. A classic rarity both in absolute and conditional terms, with this bust type employed for only 3 years at the Lima mint. Often prone to extensive bagmarking and cleaning, the coin at hand shows hardly any evidence of these problems, a few stray wisps in the fields doing very little to tarnish the overall eye appeal. Although deemed as an overdate on the holder, that the small line in the loop of the 3 looks more to be a small die crack, rather than evidence of an underlying digit.
