Lima, Peru, cob 8 reales, 1752R, extremely rare final date of Lima cobs, PCGS XF45, finest and only example in either PCGS or NGC censuses. S-L23; KM-unl (44 for type); Cal-450. 27.92 grams. Typically very crude flan (per the period, requiring an extra thick slab from PCGS), somewhat rectangular, with good centers but peripheries flat, the assayer full and clear but the date manifest as just the tops of three digits on both sides (still certain), in fact only the second example we have seen (the other sold by Aureo in May 2014 for $1225), in addition to a single-known Royal (Calico #440), in any case a very important piece for collectors of "first and last dates" within each series. PCGS #39687060.
