Potosi, Bolivia, five-coin denomination set of 1/2-1-2-4-8 reales, 1683 V, ex-Sellschopp. S-P39. 51.62 grams total. Matched-date cob denomination sets are a challenge (the numismatic equivalent of poker's "drawing to an inside straight"), so many of Sellschopp's sets like this one have remained intact all these years. The 8R, 4R and 1R are nicely toned, problem-free VF+, the 1/2R more like AVF, and the 2R is solid VF with a gold wash (very broad flan), all with clear dates and assayers (except the 1/2R). Pedigreed to the Mike Carulli Collection and to the Sellschopp Collection (Swiss Bank Corp. auction of September 1988, lot 800.
