Santiago, Chile, bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1751J, encrusted as from the Luz (1752). CT-72; KM-3. 27.2 grams. Lustrous Mint State details, in fact better struck than most, but with patches of dark encrustation all over and with two small pecks in field behind the neck (filled with debris) that would prevent proper grading even if the crust were cleaned off, intriguing as a rare example of encrusted shipwreck gold. From the Luz (1752).
