Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip II, assayer C below erasure, rare, PCGS XF detail / tooled. S-P5; KM-5.1; Cal-671. 27.03 grams Choice broad-flan example with lovely old toning, bold full interior details including a P-erasure-C with the erasure so clear as to prove it was at least partially a B, some legend despite peripheral flatness and minor surface porosity, the stated tooling nothing more than a barely visible attempt to remove dark toning in a shallow pit in the flatness. By our records, there are only two obverse dies known for this issue, which was once erroneously attributed to La Plata, this one being a match with Sellschopp 141 / Paoletti 59. It is a contender for finest known in our opinion.
