Santiago, Chile, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1750J, NGC AU 55 / La Luz. KM-3; Cal-822. Brightly lustrous (especially the reverse) with some muting in fields but prooflike in legends, typically weak strike in centers and on rims (befitting of the first 8E struck at this mint) but still fully detailed, begging for a higher grade, far scarcer than 1751 in any case. NGC #4769919-001. Recovered from: Luz, sunk in 1752 off Montevideo, Uruguay
