MEXICO, Mexico City, lot of two cob 4 reales "greenies" (one cleaned), Philip V, ex-Bruce Ward. KM-40; Cal-Type 139. 26.82 grams total. Solid examples, one thickly encrusted as found but the other fully cleaned to reveal a nearly full cross and most of the shield, an excellent before-and-after comparison. Pedigreed to the Bruce Ward Collection (Cargile Auction of December 2019, two from lot 148), with photo-certificate from Buddy Martin showing that he cleaned one of the coins. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, sunk off the east coast of Florida
