Ponterio & Associates, Inc. THE PAUL KARON POTOSI COB COLLECTION. March 17, 1990. 4to. 1-1212 Lots. Original pictorial card covers. Public Auction Sale. Sale No. 42. Chicago. 96 Pages. 29 b&w plates. PRL. English text. Fine. This post auction sale catalog is a seminal reference work specifically focused on the Potosi mint. It documents the Paul Karon Collection, which was groundbreaking for its time because it featured high-quality photographs of nearly every lot, including smaller and often overlooked denominations. Beyond being a simple auction record, the catalog is valued for its expert scholarly articles on rare 1652 transitional cobs and half-reale denominations, making it an essential "bookcase" resource for identifying and pedigreing high-grade Bolivian silver cobs. Of special note in this collection are 28 heart-shaped cobs including a 1710 and a 1734 8 reales, a 1701 and a 1734 4 reales, and 58 royals including a 1725, 1751 and 1756 8 reales and 1727 4 reales. Lot weight: 1 lbs 0oz. Subject(s): Bolivian Coinage.
