This specimen was lot 34248 in Heritage sale 3106 (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $10,200. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Spain]]: Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1715/4/3 S-M MS62 NGC, Seville mint, S-8-M-8 variety. From an unusual overdate variety with few appearances in the market, this present offering shows matte surfaces with little to no signs of handling and stands as the sole finest certified by NGC." This type was struck at Seville 1701-19. No dates are common but this one (only the overdate is reported) obtains a 60% premium over an available date such as 1710 or 1711. The Madrid issues are substantially rarer than the Seville issues.

''Recorded mintage:'' unknown.

''Specification:'' 27.47 g, 0.917 fine gold.

''Catalog reference:'' [[Spanish and Spanish colonial coins listed by Cayón number|Cayón-limonite]], Fr-247, KM 260, Cal-2285.

+The first specimen was lot 34248 in Heritage sale 3106 (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $10,200. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Spain]]: Philip V gold 8 Escudos 1715/4/3 S-M MS62 NGC, Seville mint, S-8-M-8 variety. From an unusual overdate variety with few appearances in the market, this present offering shows matte surfaces with little to no signs of handling and stands as the sole finest certified by NGC." The second specimen was lot 54437 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $15,600. The catalog description<sup>[2]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"SPAIN. 8 Escudos, 1719-S M. Seville Mint. Philip V. NGC MS-62. Cal-2291. Variety with "GRAT" legend variant. An impressive and beautiful 8 Escudos that stands alone atop the NGC Census, this unequaled 8 Escudos delivers a soft sheening brilliance with the typical surface granularity. Despite a somewhat shallow strike, this example retains much presentability and we expect a plethora of excited bidders for this specimen."</blockquote> This type was struck at Seville 1701-19. No dates are common but this one (only the overdate is reported) obtains a 60% premium over an available date such as 1710 or 1711. The Madrid issues are substantially rarer than the Seville issues. We strongly suspect that the second specimen is the same as the first, or at least, struck from the same dies, and that the original catalog description has the correct date.
