Santiago, Chile, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1750 J, NGC MS 62 PL / La Luz (1752), ex-Sotheby's (1993). Cal-822; KM-3. Spectacular mirrorlike luster with minimal marks, a couple spots of central weakness as usual, a very flashy and choice specimen, fully deserving of its PL ("prooflike") designation, with desirable original auction pedigree. Pedigreed to the Luz (1752) and to the Sotheby's (New York) "Uruguayan Treasure of the River Plate" auction of March 1993, with original lot-tag #323 (1/2).
