描述:: South Peru. State gold 8 Escudos 1837 CUZCO-BA, KM167, Fr-92, MS62 NGC. An iconic state-issue and a single-year type, this example shows FEDERACION along the reverse legend before it was changed later in 1837 to CONFEDERACION. As is common iconography on Latin American coinage, the sun face is displayed on the obverse with flags splayed to the left and right. The reverse, one of the most impressively engraved designs of the era, depicts the intricate compilation of a building, a volcano and a cornucopia in the foreground with a sailing ship behind it. Unlike many of the surviving examples, the present was rendered on a sound flan without even the hint of the laminations that so often plague the issue. The strike, another common malady, is near full with crisp peripheral lettering on both sides, an impressively sharp wreath on the reverse and only trivial loss on the highest volcano peak. Mild field reflectivity, a definite plus for the eye appeal, rounds out the appeal. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $15,275.00.

描述:: Carlos III gold 8 Escudos 1762 LM-JM, KM68, Fr-24, XF45 NGC. Two-year type. Moderately circulated but highly appealing because of its originality, the present coin has antique orange-gold tone that haloes the devices and legends and gives a touch of flash to the surfaces. Several ghosted planchet striations are noted in the centers and one minor lamination is spotted near the reverse crown, but these striking issues are incredibly common for the type. Minimal post-strike marks exist. A scarce and popular type, this coin will certainly please its next owner. Ex: ?Colonel? E.H.R. Green; Green Estate? Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson. Realized $4,406.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1751 LM-J, KM50, AU58 NGC. An intricately designed three-year type and the first year of the portrait-style 8 Escudos issuance after the transition from "cob" coinage. This example has few rivals in term of eye appeal; vivid peach-orange tone bathes the left side of the obverse while reflective gleam adorns the fields. Perhaps most pleasing, the strike is fully rendered and no planchet flaws are present. Realized $7,050.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

描述:: Felipe V gold Cob 8 Escudos 1735 L-N, KM38.2, Fr-7, Calico type 305-311, VF Details (Mount Removed) NGC. The surfaces show modest amounts of circulation and the design is pleasingly placed on a slightly off-round flan. The date, often off the flan or blurred from a shifting strike, shows a bold 7 and 3 with the final numeral being short of sharp. A small flan crack at 11 o'clock is evident. Close inspection of the rim near 6 o'clock reveals two previous mount points, and signals previous usage as a personal keepsake. Despite its imperfections, this example remains desirable as one of the classic types in American numismatics and a true symbol of wealth creation in the "New World". Realized $3,818.75.
