Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1745 q, NGC MS 62, finest known in NGC census. S-P50; KM-31a; Cal-1588. 25.59 grams. So when was the last time you saw an MS 62 Potosi cob 8 reales of Philip V? Not just MS, but 62! It is a rare thing, indeed, and this coin clearly deserves it, as the lustrous surfaces and deep strike show no wear at all (non-toned and frosty), the tops of the full but slightly doubled pillars-and-waves particularly choice, also the full cross-lions-castles on the other side, still chunky and with parts of edge slightly crude per the era, with two dates and mintmarks, all three mintmarks full and bold, an exceptional coin for the trophy-grade collector, not just the finest for the date but for the entire Philip V type. NGC #5965052-012.
