Mexico: Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1809 Mo-HJ MS66★ NGC,...

Description

Finest Certified Mexico 8 Escudos

Ferdinand VII gold 8 Escudos 1809 Mo-HJ MS66★ NGC, Mexico City mint, KM160. The single finest graded of this type by far at either NGC or PCGS; indeed, the next highest grade is held by a trio of MS64s all without the coveted 'star' designation this piece holds. Superbly struck, Ferdinand's portrait carrying a light coat of matte frost against the lustrous die-polished fields behind, buttercup yellow color drenching the planchet; a wonder coin for surviving 210 years in such exalted condition. Neither NGC nor PCGS's database show a single comparable milled Mexico 8 Escudos of this quality for any date, and in accordance we expect premium bidding from the most grade-conscious of Mexican colonial collectors.
