Description

Republic gold 8 Escudos 1828/7 So-I MS61 NGC, Santiago mint, KM84, Onza-1619 (Rare), MC-67. By all indications, a rare overdate for this popular Republican gold issue, and one which seems to far exceed its stated rarity (simply "Rara") in Calicó's La Onza. The finest of only 3 examples certified across both NGC and PCGS to date--with the next highest being an AU53. This is the first representative to appear at auction in the last several decades--the date altogether missing from the Fonrobert, Salbach, Medina, Guttag, Eliasberg, and Hammel collections, with the Norweb specimen (not illustrated) stated as being cleaned and fine. Indeed, even the plate coin in Calicó's reference shows an extensive degree of wear, and Medina's Las monedas chilenas does not mention this date. Though scattered contact binds the designation, even when viewed from a distance, the selection can only be described as Mint State, each feature sharply defined and outlined in a glassy finish.
