Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, 1630 (D), very rare, NGC XF 40 / Maravillas (1656), finest and only example in NGC census. S-M18a; KM-45; Cal-1615. 25.23 grams. Very clear bottom third of all four digits of the date (decidedly not 1630/29), with bold full cross and shield but much peripheral flatness, deeply toned but virtually uncorroded, an unusually early find from this wreck and additionally rare as a straight-graded shipwreck silver cob. From the Maravillas (1656), pedigreed to the Clyde Hubbard Collection, with his original tag/envelope. Please use this link to verify the certification number
