Large, choice clump of about 12 Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 and 4 reales, probably all Philip V, assayer J. 317.7 grams. A beefy and super-attractive display of cobs just as they were found, with lovely green and white sandy coral throughout the pile of what we estimate to be a dozen coins, mostly 8R but some 4R, one of which (sticking out one side) shows a partial date but all the coins apparently solid and well preserved, a natural sea-sculpture that is worth much more than the sum of its parts. Pedigreed to the estate of Karl H. Goodpaster (Real Eight conservator), with original Real Eight Co. certificate. Recovered from: 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
