CHILE. 8 Reales, 1803/2-So FJ. Santiago Mint. Charles IV. NGC AU-58.
KM-51; FC-43b; El-56; Cal-Type-86 # 753. Mintage: 111,000. Displaying a nice, bold 3/2 overdate, and though it is holdered also as the over-assayer "FJ/JJ", this attribution seems questionable. Extremely choice for the date, this coin exhibits detail within the designs that remains exceptionally bold and the fields are impressively smooth. The addition of soft gray tone with intermingled multicolored hues imparts a rather pleasing overall appearance. As the single finest graded, absolutely deserving of residence in an advanced cabinet.
From the Santa Fe Collection. Ex: Whittier Collection (Heritage 6/2006) Lot # 16414.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
