MEXICO Ferdinand VII. 1814-Mo JJ AV 1/2 Escudo. NGC MS62. Mexico City. FERD · VII · D · G · HISP · ET IND. Laureate head right / Crowned oval shield. KM 112; Fr.-57.
Fantastic little coin. As of February 2016, only one graded higher by NGC (MS63), none by PCGS. Also, substantially better eye appeal than the NGC MS63 coin (2790966-002).
This coin has been previously auctioned twice by Heritage:
2010 CICF Signature World Coin Auction #3009, lot 22328. From the sale’s catalogue: “Ferdinand VII gold 1/2 Escudo 1814-Mo JJ, KM112, MS62 NGC, flat colour on the king's face but otherwise highly lustrous”.
2013 CICF World and Ancient Coins Signature Auction #3024, lot 25127. From the sale’s catalogue: “Ferdinand VII gold 1/2 Escudo 1814 Mo-JJ, KM112, MS62 NGC, a gorgeous straw-gold coloured specimen with vibrant luster and nearly invisible handling that precludes a finer grade”.
It has been also sold twice in eBay:
June 12, 2013: 10 bidders, 22 bids, 10 days (item number 121120080226).
February 5, 2016: Best offer, 2 buyers with 3 offers (item number 252278056817).

Amazing little coin. As minted! Nice patina! Top Pop at both NGC and PCGS! At the time of purchase (April 2018) NGC has certified 3 coins: 1@40, 1@53, and 1@61; PCGS has certified only one at 63 (i.e. this one).
From the sale's catalogue: "Ferdinand VII gold 1/2 Escudo 1818 Mo-JJ MS63 PCGS, Mexico City mint, KM112, Cal-365. The single highest certified example by either NGC or PCGS, this razor-sharp little beauty exhibits substantial luster across the entire planchet, the reverse flooded with a brooding red patina to the peripheries. A delightful offering for the collector of the Mexican series."

MEXICO Ferdinand VII. 1820-Mo JJ AV 1/2 Escudo. NGC MS62. Mexico City. FERD · VII · D · G · HISP · ET IND. Laureate head right / Crowned oval shield. KM 112; Fr.-57.
Fantastic little coin. As of January 2016, top pop of only 4 graded.
From the sale's catalogue: "Ferdinand VII gold 1/2 Escudo 1820 Mo-JJ MS62 NGC, Mexico City mint, KM112, Cal-367. Mint State with strong mint bloom, slight strike softness on the shield and scattered non-obtrusive handling marks preventing a higher designation. The final date of this scarce issue, very rare and most desirable in this quality. The Rudman example of this date (Heritage Auctions 9/2015, lot 31369) hammered for $1,200 in AU58 NGC certification."
