Chile: Charles III 8 Reales 1785/4 So-DA AU53 NGC,...
Description
Charles III 8 Reales 1785/4 So-DA AU53 NGC, Santiago mint, KM31, Cal-1220, Elizondo-33, Calbeto-1400 (this coin). An altogether elusive date from an already difficult type, with only three current occupants between both censuses. Shadows in the legends contribute to the uncanny aesthetic of this scarce specimen that might be conservatively graded. A trivial rim bump at 1 o'clock on the obverse is noted for accuracy. Despite this, the piece impresses upon inspection, and coupled with its enviable pedigree, is sure to entice the Chilean specialist.Ex. Freeman Craig & Co.
