Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1626 P, barbell after date, quadrants of cross transposed, very rare, NGC VF 30, finest and only example in NGC census. S-P23; KM-19a; Cal-1444. 27.17 grams. For scholars of Potosi cobs, this is a true "wonder coin," with 100% full and clear date 16Z6 followed by a full dot-bar-dot (barbell), which is distinctive for this rarely seen date, but even better is the clear P-dot-P to left of (doubled) shield, as some examples of this date are assayer T, overall a bit crude per the period but with nice toning and undamaged, not just the finest at NGC but the best example we have ever seen.
