Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1820 Mo-JJ MS63 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM161, Cal-1799, Onza-1271. A standout selection of this penultimate date for Ferdinand's gold coinage at Mexico City, with over 90% of the certified population ranking in lesser condition. For comparison, the Rudman example was only an AU55; the Eliasberg specimen was VF Details; and, most recently, the Oro del Nuevo Mundo piece was a full point lower. While uncertified, the Gerber and Norweb specimens were cataloged as "fine" and "almost extremely fine," respectively. Soundly produced with careful centering, the coin is replete with a combination of semi-Prooflike luster and subtle die polish, firmly establishing its status as fully Choice Mint State.
