Potosi, Bolivia, cob denomination set of 8-4-2-1-1/2 reales, 1688VR, ex-Sellschopp. S-P39. 52.07 grams total. Cobs date-sets are very hard to assemble these days, and many of the Sellschopp sets like this one have been long since broken up. What stands out most in this set is the 4R, with 3 dates and choice full cross, but all the other denominations have multiple dates (yes, even the 1/2R) and nice details, the average grade being VF, with generally attractive toning, hence a premium set even without the famous pedigree. Pedigreed the Sellschopp collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1988) and to our Auction #10, with original lot-tag #789.
