Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1751 LM-J, KM50, AU58 NGC. An intricately designed three-year type and the first year of the portrait-style 8 Escudos issuance after the transition from "cob" coinage. This example has few rivals in term of eye appeal; vivid peach-orange tone bathes the left side of the obverse while reflective gleam adorns the fields. Perhaps most pleasing, the strike is fully rendered and no planchet flaws are present. Krause catalog price(s) for this item: $2300 in VF, $3150 in EF.
Estimate: 7500-9500 USD
