Watch List notes:

Santiago, Chile, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1750 J, NGC AU 58 / La Luz (Shipwreck Blue Label). Cal-822; KM-3; Fr-5. Exceptional full rims and rather decent interior strike (less central weakness than usual for this first date of type), also much luster for the grade, which was probably assessed based on some light surface hairlines in fields. With photo-certificate, pedigreed to the Val y Mexia Collection (stated on label). Recovered from: Luz, sunk in 1752 off Montevideo, Uruguay


Estimate: 2500 - 3750 USD
