CHILE. 8 Escudos, 1836-So IJ. Santiago Mint. NGC MS-62. KM-93; Onza-1631. Mintage: 27,000. Glowing throughout, this pleasing Mint State example is minimally marked and impressively struck with wonderful clarity within the hand on constitution motif. On top of that, it shows no evidence of being struck over a previous coin like many of the date are, so it remains free from visual interference caused by remnants of a previous design. Overall, rather important quality for the date as this is not only the single finest graded, but perhaps more impressively, its the only example to reach the Mint State tier! From the Oro del Nuevo Mundo Collection.
