CHILE. 8 Escudos, 1817/8-So FJ. Santiago Mint. Ferdinand VII. NGC MS-64. Fr-29; KM-78; Cal-Type 26 #127; Cayon-15587. Incredibly fresh, this near-Gem survivor boasts surfaces that are astonishingly free from contact marks with luster that effortlessly beams into the viewers eye. Not only does the grade impress however, but the overdate certainly ranks high in its "cool factor" within the entire Latin American series, with the underlying 8 suggesting a future date, whereas virtually all overdates reference previous years. As the sole MS-64 graded (with only one graded finer), a coin that is certain to attract spirited bids.
