Ferdinand VI gold 8 Escudos 1749 Mo-MF MS61 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM150, Cal-36. In many respects an enviable offering, one which is marked by a warm lustrous glow to the fields, enhancing what can only be said to be an aesthetic allure that would be difficult to match elsewhere. Subtle softness is noted over the higher areas of the central design, a common feature of this relatively high-relief type, wherein the metal could hardly be expected to reach the uppermost recessed areas of the dies. Nonetheless the presentation remains bold, the devices well-defined, and the preservation at a level that renders this selection the finest and only Mint State example seen by NGC to date. Ex. Anastasia Collection (Heritage Auction #3075, August 2019, Lot 32320)
