Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1620T, Grade "1+++++" (150 points), with original 1979 photo-certificate (rare). S-P21; KM-10; CT-137. 24.6 grams. Very odd coin that is shaped like a full bag with cinched top, weak centers but very bold legends, including king's name (with backwards P's) and ordinal III and full date, toned all over, with minimal corrosion but certainly a far cry from top Grade-1 quality as indicated on the certificate (probably among the best they had found prior to the "mother lode"). With hand-signed Fisher photo-certificate #675 from 1979. From: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
