Philip IV Cob 8 Reales (162)8 RN-E VF Details (Scratches) NGC, Cartagena mint, KM3.4, Restrepo-M45/3. A rare type, wholesome for the issue, with the important denomination and assayer detail remaining bold. On the reverse, the last digit of the date, an 8, remains visible, and considering the date is often entirely illegible, this is sure to excite the advanced collector of this immensely challenging series. Several marks in the centers account for the "scratches" notation by NGC, but their overall significance on a coin such as this must be considered trivial.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
