Mexico City, Mexico, bust 8 escudos, Philip V, 1734MF/F, unlisted over-assayer, encapsulated NGC AU 58+, finest and only specimen in NGC census, ex-Rudman. CT-unl (type 28); KM-148. Very choice strike with full luster graced with light toning, very rare quality for this date and in fact at the top of the NGC population even without the very rare over-assayer (for which this is the only specimen in the census), from a muling of a new 1734 obverse with a re-used 1733 reverse, showing just a few field marks and high-point wear but as close to Mint State as you can get, also nicely pedigreed as having sold in Rudman (Heritage, August 2015, lot #31065) for $12,925. NGC #2771803-005. Pedigreed to the Rudman Collection of Mexican Coins.
