Seville, Spain, cob 2 escudos, Philip II or III, assayer B, from the Guadalupe-Tolosa (1724), encapsulated NGC Fine details removed from jewelry. This westbound Spanish wreck yielded only a handful of coins, all of which were sold in 2005 by Goldberg in NGC slabs stating their origin; but since then some of the coins like this one were removed from the slabs and later re-submitted to NGC and given ex-jewelry designation because their graders mistook surface damage from mercury contamination from the wreck for polishing! This specimen shows a decent full cross and crude full shield and is otherwise accurately graded. From the Guadalupe-Tolosa (1724), so stated inside the slab, and pedigreed to the Goldberg auction of September 20-21, 2005, lot #3172.
