CHILE. 8 Escudos, 1811-So FJ. Santiago Mint. Ferdinand VII. PCGS MS-62 Gold Shield.Fr-28; KM-72. Military Bust. A planchet streak in the hair of the portrait accompanies a minor lamination on the shoulder, those these are both mind-made. Subtle tangerine patina paints the rims and complements the overall ivory-gold coloration. The obverse shows semi-prooflike characteristics, while the reverse is uniformly frosted. An attractive and well-struck example that is tied with only one other as the finest certified by PCGS.
