Santiago, Chile, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1751J, NGC UNC details / env damage, cleaned, La Luz (1752). Cal-824; KM-3. 27.07 grams. Fully struck-up UNC (rare without central weakness) but left in its uncleaned state in order to preserve the fascinating barnacle "footprints" and "eggs" (like snakeskin) and red staining, a unique and attractive item, especially as now "slabbed" with a shipwreck label. From the Luz (1752), pedigreed to the Fernandina collection (both stated on label).
