Santiago, Chile, gold bust 8 escudos, Ferdinand VI, 1751 J, NGC MS 65, ex-Canovas. KM-3; Cal-824. Superb strike with 100% full details including centers (which are usually weak), bountifully lustrous with minimal hairlines, typical natural depression on edge below date, near top grade (currently tied with three others for second finest in NGC census behind a single MS 66*), certainly the best we have handled and most likely from the Luz shipwreck of 1752. Pedigreed to the Manuel Canovas collection (Vinchon auction of May 1994, lot 156).
