Mexico City, Mexico, cob 4 reales, Philip IV, assayer P, with weight-adjustment plugs as from circulation in Massachusetts, very rare denomination for this issue. S-M19; KM-38. 13.4 grams. Very important coin for US colonials, with two very prominent plugs (one larger than the other, both hammered flat) near the center, good full shield, weak but full oMP, virtually no corrosion but obviously salvaged, first plugged 4R we have ever seen. From the Feversham, sunk in 1711 off Nova Scotia, Canada.
