Chile: Ferdinand VII 8 Reales 1808 So-FJ MS61 NGC,...
Description
Rare 1808 Ferdinand VII 8 Reales of Santiago
Ferdinand VII 8 Reales 1808 So-FJ MS61 NGC, Santiago mint,
KM68, Elizondo-63, Cal-1399. FERDIN VII type. Variety without
buttons. Eureka! Leave it to the Grundy Collection to not only
contain a date and type that hardly ever appears on the market, but
then also to locate an example that crosses the threshold into a
Mint State holder. Taking account of the rarity, this "imaginary"
military bust offering is simply spectacular, wielding an
underlying patina of aged champagne alongside a dose of color along
portions of the periphery. With only a single other auction
appearance of this date and type in the last two decades, being the
Tarapaca example we handled, an AU58, in 2011, we can only imagine
the heights this coveted emission will attain.Ex. Privately purchased from Paul Karon; Ray Johnson Collection; Faistauer Collection
