Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1817/6 So-FJ MS62 NGC, Santiago mint, KM78, Cal-1875 (prev. Cal-126). A wonderful gold offering boasting a prominent and popular overdate, the satiny, watery fields illuminated at the turn of the wrist, highlighting virtually flawless surfaces, scattered minor hairlines notwithstanding. The reverse faces up much nicer than the assigned grade would indicate. A scratch mars the obverse legend, likely hindering the piece from the choice designation. Regardless, a highly attractive offering.
