Chile
Republic gold 8 Escudos 1832 So-I MS62 NGC, Santiago mint, KM84, Fr-33, Onza-1625. Of very scarce quality for this imagery-laden type, displaying a volcano and mountains under a beaming sun over the obverse and two Chilean flags intersecting a pillar on the reverse. A sharp strike brings these features to their fullest intended expression, a sheen of aurous luster igniting the surfaces upon rotation and confirming the Mint State designation, while only shallow signs of handling keep the specimen from further heights of certification. Only a single example ranks finer in NGC's listed census (with none exceeding the AU58 level by PCGS), the Eliasberg specimen, certifying MS64, apparently omitted. For reference, we note that the more highly certified MS63+ example sold in January of this year for a hammer price of $38,000.
