Colombia: Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1776 NR-JJ MS64 PCGS,...
Description
Sole Finest Colombian 8 Escudos of 1776
Charles III gold 8 Escudos 1776 NR-JJ MS64 PCGS, Nuevo Reino
mint, KM50.1, Cal-2103. A miraculous conditional outlier for this
highly desirable date and type, saturated with cartwheel luster on
a flan that hosts devices that evince virtually no wear. For a type
prone to strike weakness and planchet irregularities, the bust and
reverse arms on this specimen capture the seldom-seen entirety of
the renderings. The brilliant gold patina becomes multidimensional
as it fans outward, leading to an impressive play of luster in the
peripherals. Only a single other example grades at the MS level
(NGC MS60) across both services, while the majority of
straight-graded survivors fall in the XF and low-AU range.Metal: Gold
Weight: 27.0674g
AGW: 0.7841oz
Estimate: $10,000 - $20,000.
