Mexico City, Mexico, cob 8 reales, Philip V, assayer not visible(?), mounted cross-side out in a wood/plastic display along with an original Real Eight Co. contract (1 page) from 1963 signed by Frank Allen, Don Nieman, Bruce Ward and Kip Wagner and notarized by Alice Wagner. KM-47. 23.8 grams (coin only), about 13" x 12" (display). The coin is solid and uncorroded, with nice cross and toning, but the main value here is the one-page contract, hand-written and hand-signed by 1960s treasure luminaries. We have sold one like this before but without the percentages spelled out as they are on this one. Recovered from: Spanish 1715 Fleet, east coast of Florida
