Mexico City, Mexico, gold cob 8 escudos, 1715 J, NGC MS 65 (1715 Fleet Label), finest known in NGC census, ex-Frank Sedwick. S-M30; KM-57.2; Cal-2214. 26.86 grams. Exceptionally lustrous for this iconic final year of 1715-Fleet Mexican cobs, and superbly struck with bold and fully detailed shield, full date and oMJ, nearly full crown and denomination, and full cross-and-tressure, all well centered but with typically flat and beveled periphery, arguably the finest anywhere (not just at NGC), highly desirable to Fleet collectors but also to numismatic trophy hunters and Mexican specialists to boot! From the 1715 Fleet, with original Frank Sedwick letter dated June 21, 1988. Please use this link to verify the certification number
