Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, Philip III, assayer not visible, 180-degree double-strike, Grade 1, with original tag but certificate missing. KM-10. 26.7 grams. Incredibly broad flan with full legends and sharp details all over, with curious "o" below the mintmark P that looks like an assayer but is actually the top of the denomination from the 180-degree double-strike, which is also manifest in the shield details and in the king's ordinal to the left of the crown, elegantly toned and practically corrosion-free, small edge-split. Recovered from: Atocha, sunk in 1622 west of Key West, Florida
