Bolivia Silver 8 Reales Cob.KM#R26 1684V. Mod
Bolivia Silver 8 Reales Cob.KM#R26 1684V. Moderate show of sea corrosion, VF for wear. Large flan crack 1/3 of the way through coin. Krause doesn't list the V for this but in the Sedwick book, The Practical book of Cobs, he mentions they were struck with this date and moneyors initials. 3dates/partial dates show, the 8 of the full date in the reverse legend looks more like a 3 but it is also weak in that spot. Very little of the obverse legend is readable.<BR><BR>Each individual coin and/or lot will show the gradefollowed by a letter ranking (a), (b) and (c). The letter (a) will indicate that the salt water has had some minor affect on the coins and its patina is not unattractive. The letter (b) will indicate that the coinsshow some form of sea immersion affects in that the patina may show slightly more corrosion, however the coin remains aesthetically pleasing. The letter (c) will indicate sea immersion affects more severe than the (b) type described above, but all the dates and details will be there and visible. Extensively damaged or worn coins will be described and priced as such.<BR><BR>Notice.
