Potosi, Bolivia, cob 8 reales, 1652E post-transitional (Transitional Type VIII/B), 1-PH-6 at top. 25.26 grams. Full cross with clear date, bold 1-PH-6 and second date, full POTOSI in legend due to poor centering, no toning, no corrosion. It is interesting to note that there are several over-punchings in the pillars-side die for this coin, including smaller letters in POTOSI and what appears to be a Spanish-style 5 in the date. Pedigreed to the David Horner collection. Recovered from: "Jupiter wreck" (San Miguel el Arcángel), sunk in 1659 off the east coast of Florida
Estimate: $200 - 300
